To solve \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{7}{9} \), first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \) can be expressed as \( \frac{13}{5} \) (since \( 2 \times 5 + 3 = 13 \)). Next, remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. Therefore, the expression becomes \( \frac{13}{5} \times \frac{9}{7} \). Now, multiply the fractions: \[ \frac{13 \times 9}{5 \times 7} = \frac{117}{35} \] Thus, \( 2 \frac{3}{5} \div \frac{7}{9} = \frac{117}{35} \), or as a mixed number, it’s \( 3 \frac{12}{35} \).
