Answer:

The answer is
1 (4)/(7)

Explanation:

First, you convert
3 (2)/(3) to an improper fraction. That is
(11)/(3). Do the same for the other number.

Next, use KFC, or Keep, Flip, Change.

Keep the first number

Flip the second

Change the operation. Division becomes Multiplication. You should've gotten
(11)/(3)x
(3)/(7).

You can simplify now. You would've gotten 11 *
(1)/(7). Multiply and you would get
(11)/(7). Simplify into a mixed number. The answer is
1 (4)/(7).
