2%281%2F10%29%2F%282%2F3%29+=+x
1. Convert the mixed fraction 2%281%2F10%29 into a improper fraction.

2. Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the reciprocal of the second fraction.
so:
%2821%2F10%29%2F%282%2F3%29+=+%2821%2F10%29+%2A+%283%2F2%29
%2821%2F10%29+%2A+%283%2F2%29+=+%2863%2F20%29
63%2F20 or 3%2A%283%2F20%29 is the answer.
