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

1 X 7 = 7
3 X 2 = 6

1/3 X 7/2 = 7/6

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

[tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] ÷ [tex] \frac{2}{7} [/tex]

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

Answer: [tex] \frac{7}{6} [/tex] OR [tex]1 \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
Answer as decimal: 1.1667
