Answer:

4/27

Explanation:

1. convert 6 to a fraction

8/9 ÷ 6/1

2. keep the 8/9, change the division sign (to a multiplication sign), flip the 6/1 to 1/6

8/9 x 1/6

3. cross cancel the common factor, which is 2 (just means to divide the numerator and denominator to simplify)

8 ÷ 2 = 4, 6 ÷ 2 = 3

= 4/9 x 1/3

4. multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction

4 x 1/9 x 3

= 4/27
