example: 2 3/4 divided by 2 2/6=
1. change into mixed number
2 3/4=11/4
2 2/6=14/6
2.change the sign to from division to multiplication and for the second number change into its reciprocal
11/4 x 6/14=66/56

When 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.

You turn the mixed number into an improper fraction then multiply by the reciprocal.
you cant divide mixed numbers
To combine the fractions or subtract the fractions. Same method with mixed numbers.
Mixed numbers are larger than proper fractions.
Yes, you can divide fraction untli u make the mixed number into a improper fraction then divide
