Answer:

8/3 ( = 2 2/3)

Explanation:

To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal (i.e the upside fraction).

Also note that 2 = 2/1.

so 2 ÷ 3/4 = 2/1 x 4/3 = 8/3 (to multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators, and the denominators).

If you need to convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, this then gives

8/3 = 2 2/3
