Answer 1

1/3 / 2/7
The first thing you do is switch the 2 and the 7 around and change the sign to a times: 
1/3 X 7/2

7/6 (which is an improper fraction) can we written as 1 1/6 (which is a mixed number). 

The answer is 1 1/6

Second, apply this rule: $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ac}{bd}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{1x7}{3x2}$
Third, multiply 1 × 7 to get 7. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{7}{3x2}$
Fourth, multiply 3 × 2 to get 6. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{7}{6}$
