Answer:

1.35

Explanation:

Unfortunately you are wrong, the correct way to evaluate this problem…

We know 2/3 is 6.6 repeating

So if we do 9 divided by 6.6

We would get 1.35

Also I don’t know how your teacher want you to evaluate, but -27/3 can become a mixed number (9) which is obviously incorrect because 9 divided by a decimal lower that 1 is going to be a decimal lower than one.
