Answer :

Before you do the steps, change the fractions given to improper fractions:
2 2/3 = 8/3
3 1/6 = 19/6

Now, I think the first step they want you to write is:
8/3 (divided by) 19/6

When you divide two fractions, it's the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. (A reciprocal is a fancy way of saying you flip the fraction)
So the next step will look like this:
8/3 x 6/19

With this setup, you can cross simplify the fractions so that they look like this:
8/1 x 2/19
When you multiply this, you get 16/19
