"What is the value of 5 4/9 divided y when y=2 1/3. I dont get what you do with the 5 and the 2."

Change them to improper fractions:

5 4/9 � 2 1/3
= 49/9 � 7/3 {changed to improper fractions}
= 49/9 x 3/7 {when dividing with fractions, multiply by the reciprocal}
= 7/3 {cancelled diagonally and multiplied what's left}
= 2 1/3 {changed to mixed number}
