b. Multiply the second fraction by the reciprocal of the first fraction.
c. Multiply by the least common multiple of 3 and 9.
d. Multiply by the greatest common factor of 3 and 9.


Sagot :

Answer:

a. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alrighty.

So we have

2/3 ÷ 7/9

We are going to find the reciprocal (by flipping the numerator and denominator) of the second fraction. Sooo..... 7/9 would actually be 9/7

so now we're doing:

2x9 ÷ 3x7  =  18/21 which can simplify too!

So the Final Awnser is: 6/7

(checked with calculators multiple times thank you very much.)
