Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To divide mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions: $6 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{33}{5}$ and $2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$. Then, multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor: $\frac{33}{5} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{99}{35}$. Converting $\frac{99}{35}$ back to a mixed number gives $2 \frac{29}{35}$.
