How do you divide fractions and mixed numbers

If the question is as such: 3/4 divided by 2/3 you simply reverse the second fraction (making it 3/2) and now multiply the two together. For example, it should now read 3/4 x 3/2 = 9/8. This can then by put into a mixed number format as 1 1/8. To convert to mixed numbers. Firstly figure out how many whole denominators will go into the numerator OR divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case only one 8 will go into 9 leaving one remainder. Therefore, the mixed number is 1 and 1/8.
