For this problem:
2x/27 divided by 4/9
You cannot divide the two, you have to multiply the reciprocal (flip) of the 2nd fraction:
You can either simplify the equations or multiply across and simplify after:
I decided to multiply across:
(2x)(9) = 18x
(27)(4) = 108
Now, 18 can go into itself once and 108 six times:
(18x)/18 = 1x or x
(108)/18 = 6
