∙ 12y agoWhen dividing mixed numbers with fractions you have to always convert the mixed numbers to fractions before being able to divide.
Therefore:
2 1/3 ÷ 3/4
Would first have to be converted to fractions:
7/3 ÷ 3/4
Then you just go by the normal rules for dividing fractions:
1. Find reciprocal (Flip the second fraction) & switch to multiplication
7/3 x 4/3
2. Multiple numerators together and then the denominators together:
7/3 x 4/3 = 28/9
3. If possible, reduce.
Depending on the teacher's directions, you may either reduce to simplest form (which it already is) or you may be asked to convert it to a mixed number.
