What is 27/17 Divided By 2/7

Solving $\frac{27}{17}\div\frac{2}{7}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{27}{17} \div \frac{2}{7} = \frac{27}{17} \times \frac{7}{2}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $27 \times 7 = 189$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 2 = 34$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{27}{17} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{189}{34}$
