Answer:


(20)/(9) or 2
(2)/(9)

Explanation:

1. Set up the problem : 2 ÷
(9)/(10)

2. Since 2 is a whole number we can give it a denominator of 1, transforming the problem to:
(2)/(1) ÷
(9)/(10)

3. Change the division sign into a multiplication sign.


(2)/(1) ×
(9)/(10)

4. Find the reciprocal by swapping the numerator and denominator on the second fraction


(2)/(1) ×
(10)/(9)

5. Multiply fractions


(2)/(1) ×
(10)/(9) =
(20)/(9) or 2
(2)/(9)
