Answer:


2(21)/(37)

Explanation:


9(1)/(2) / 3(7)/(10)

open mixed fractions to improper fractions:


(18+1)/(2) /(30+7)/(10)

simplify:


(19)/(2) /(37)/(10)

making it division to multiplication changes side upside down:


(19)/(2) *(10)/(37)

multiply both the fractions:


(190)/(74)

simplify by 2:


(95)/(37)

final answer in mixed fraction:


2(21)/(37)
