Answer:

2 1/3

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, you need to convert the problem to multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. 7/9 divided by 1/3 therefore becomes 7/9 * 3. 7 * 3 = 21 and this value is over 9, so you currently have 21/9, but wait: we can simplify this.

21/9 can be simplified to 7/3, which can be simplified further to 2 1/3.
