What is 26/17 Divided By 9/2

Solving $\frac{26}{17}\div\frac{9}{2}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{26}{17} \div \frac{9}{2} = \frac{26}{17} \times \frac{2}{9}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $26 \times 2 = 52$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 9 = 153$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{26}{17} \times \frac{9}{2} = \frac{52}{153}$
