To divide the mixed number \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \) by the fraction \( \frac{7}{9} \), first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. This gives us: \[ 2 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{10 + 3}{5} = \frac{13}{5} \] Now, instead of dividing by \( \frac{7}{9} \), we multiply by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{13}{5} \div \frac{7}{9} = \frac{13}{5} \times \frac{9}{7} \] Now multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ \frac{13 \times 9}{5 \times 7} = \frac{117}{35} \] So, the expression equivalent to \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{7}{9} \) is \( \frac{117}{35} \).
