The mixed number 4 (2/3) can be put into improper form, which would be (14/3). Next, you need to divide it by (2/3). An easier method is to multiply by the reciprocal instead, which is (3/2). (14/3) * (3/2) --> (14 * 3) / (3 * 2) --> (42/6). If asked, this will simplify to 7.
change 4 2/3 to an improper fraction which is 14/3 and then divide by 2/3 14 2 ----- divided ------ 3 3 in division you have to reciprocate the second fraction so it becomes: 14 3 ----- times ----- 3 2 the threes cancel off so you are left with 14/2 which you know is 7 therefore your answer is 7 hope this helps :)
