You're welcome.
To find 1/3 of 21/9, we need to multiply 21/9 by 1/3.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Multiply the numerators: 21 * 1 = 21.
2. Multiply the denominators: 9 * 3 = 27.
3. Write the result as a fraction: 21/27.
However, we can simplify this fraction further by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. In this case, both 21 and 27 can be divided by 3:
21 ÷ 3 = 7,
27 ÷ 3 = 9.
Therefore, the simplified fraction is 7/9. Hence, 1/3 of 21/9 is equal to 7/9.
