namely, how many times does 2/3 go into 9?

well

[tex]\bf 9 \div \frac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{9}{\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{9}{1}\quad }{\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{9}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{27}{2} \\\\\\ \textit{2 goes \underline{13 times} into 27, with a \underline{remainder of 1}}\implies 13\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
