Answer: 7/3

Explanation:

To divide fractions, you can use the "keep, change, flip" method.

1. Keep the first fraction (7/9) as is.

2. Change the division sign to a multiplication sign.

3. Flip the second fraction (i.e. find the reciprocal). This means 1/3 changes to 3/1.

Rewrite the equation:

7/9 x 3/1

Multiply the numerators and the denominators together, respectively.

21/9

Simplify:

7/3
