Answer 2

6

Explanation:

You can work these a couple of ways.

1. Invert the denominator and multiply.

`(\left((8)/(3)\right))/(\left((4)/(9)\right))=(8)/(3)\cdot(9)/(4)=(2\cdot4\cdot3\cdot3)/(3\cdot4)=2\cdot3=\boxed{6}`

2. Express each fraction using the same denominator, then find the ratio of numerators.

`(\left((8)/(3)\right))/(\left((4)/(9)\right))=(\left((24)/(9)\right))/(\left((4)/(9)\right))=(24)/(4)=\boxed{6}`
