Explanation:


\\ 9 (6)/(7) / 3

Change the mixed fraction into improper fraction.


\\ = (69)/(7) / 3

Reciprocal 3 for cross multiplication.


\\ = (69)/(7) * (1)/(3)

Divide 69 by 3.


\\ = \frac{ \cancel{69}}{7} * \frac{1}{ \cancel{3}}


\\ = (23)/(7)

Divide the result into mixed fraction or decimal.


\\ = 3.285 \: \: or \: \: 3 (2)/(7)
