I will tell you what to do but not do only provide a few of the steps for you. Your effort is required

Change each mixed number to improper fraction.

(6+5/17) divided by (2+1/3)

6%2817%2F17%29%2B5%2F17 divided by 2%283%2F3%29%2B1%2F3

%28102%2B5%29%2F17 divided by %286%2B1%29%2F3


Invert the divisor and multiply instead.

Simplify as necessary.
