Answer:

1 23/28

Explanation:

turn both of your numbers into fractions: 17/3 and 28/9

to turn you equation into something that you can simplify, flip one of your fractions and that will turn the division sign into a multiplication sign:

17/3 x 9/28

you can simplify this by simplifying 9 to 3 and 3 to 1.

this means you now have 17 x 3/28

multiply 17 and 3 together since they are the numerators, you should get 51/28

now turn this into a mixed fraction: 1 23/28
