Answer

$\dfrac{27}{32}$

Work Step by Step

Use the rule $\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$ to obtain: $=\frac{7}{9} \times \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{81}{28}$ Cancel common factors to obtain: $\require{cancel} =\frac{\cancel{7}}{\cancel{9}} \times \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{\cancel{81}9}{\cancel{28}4} \\=\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{9}{4} \\=\frac{27}{32} $
