To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Reciprocal of 1/3 = 3/1

9/11 ÷ 1/3 = 9/11 × 3/1

Now, multiply the numerators together: 9 × 3 = 27
And multiply the denominators together: 11 × 1 = 11

So, the result is 27/11.

However, we can simplify this fraction further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1.

27/11 ÷ 1 = 27/11

So, the final answer is 27/11.

To compute the division of fractions, you can follow these steps:

1. Flip the second fraction: To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, flip the second fraction, which means swap its numerator and denominator.

In this case, 1/3 becomes 3/1.

2. Multiply the fractions: After flipping the second fraction, multiply the two fractions together. Multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

9/11 * 3/1 = (9 * 3) / (11 * 1) = 27/11

Therefore, 9/11 ÷ 1/3 simplifies to 27/11.

I apologize for the confusion. Let's recompute the division of fractions:

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

9/11 ÷ 1/3 = 9/11 × 3/1

Multiplying the numerators together: 9 × 3 = 27
Multiplying the denominators together: 11 × 1 = 11

So, the result is 27/11.

To simplify this fraction, we can find the whole number and the fractional part:

27 ÷ 11 = 2 remainder 5

Therefore, the answer is 2 5/11.
