Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

7.27

Step-by-step explanation:

To make it easier to divide fractions, you multiply them by switching the second fraction around: 6/7 => 7/6

Then you switch the division symbol to a multiplication symbol.

Then you multiply the top numbers of the fractions first:

2 x 7 = 14

Then the bottom numbers:

9 x 6 = 54

So the fraction you end up with is 14/54.

Then you reduce by finding the GCF and dividing both numbers by that number. (The GCF is the greatest common factor that both numbers have, which is the highest number that is divisible by both numbers - an example would be the GCF of 6 and 9, which would be 3.)

The GCF of 14 and 54 is 2. Therefore, we divide 14 by 2 which would be 7. Then we divide 54 by 2, which would be 27. Since 7 and 27 do not have a GCF;

7/27 is the reduced form
