(9/3/2)/9*6
---------
It's not an equation. All equations have an equal sign.
--------
(9/3/2)/9*6
= (9/3/2)/54
Two or more answers are possible.
Is the NUM 9/(3/2), or (9/3)/2 ??
You have to specify the which part is the NUM and the DEN.

There seems to be a problem with "Thank You" notes.

(9/3/2)/9*6

%289%2F%283%2F2%29%29%2F%289%2A6%29 -------> %28%289%2F1%29%2F%283%2F2%29%29%2F54 ------> %28%289%2F1%29%2A+%282%2F3%29%29%2F54 ------> %28%283cross%289%29%2F1%29%2A+%282%2Fcross%283%29%29%29%2F54 ------> 6%2F54-------> 1cross%286%29%2F9cross%2854%29

Therefore, (9/3/2)/9*6 = highlight_green%281%2F9%29
