Answer:

Joey will use 6 bowls.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide to solve.

What is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] ?

When you divide fractions you just multiply by the reciprocal (the fraction flipped.)

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{9}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{18}{3}[/tex] = 6

Joey will use 6 bowls.
