Hello, babygirl17!

Divide 2 2/3 by 1 2/3

Rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions: .{223=83123=53}\displaystyle \begin{Bmatrix}2\frac{2}{3} &=& \frac{8}{3} \\ 1\frac{2}{3} &=& \frac{5}{3} \end{Bmatrix}

Now proceed as usual: .83÷53  =  83×35    etc.\displaystyle \dfrac{8}{3} \div \dfrac{5}{3} \;=\;\dfrac{8}{3} \times \dfrac{3}{5} \;\cdots\;\text{etc.}
