division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3=[tex] \frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } [/tex]
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so
[tex] \frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } times \frac{ \frac{3}{2} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{ \frac{54}{2} }{ \frac{6}{6} }= \frac{27}{1}=27 [/tex]
the answe ris 27
