Answer: 2/9 divided by 7/9 = 2/7

Explanation:

1. Write out the problem on a piece of paper.

2. Change the second fraction, which is 7/9, into a reciprocal fraction (means flipping the 7 and 9 around). Now, our equation has the fraction 9/7 in it.

3. Change the division symbol to a multiplication symbol. Your equation should be 2/9 x 9/7.

4. Solve the equation. You should get the answer of 18/63 without simplification.

5. Simplify. 18/63 = 2/7

Conclusion: 2/7 is the correct answer.
