change it into 14/27 x 3/2 = 7/9
You can straight away get the answer C !
because 7 X 2 = 14
9 X 3 = 27
the top can deal with the bottom part. straight away delete 2 cause 2 multipy is 14 so,delete 14 also. Do the same for 27 and 3 too,get them deleted by placing 9.

well, because you are dividing, you flip the second fraction, and multiply them,so
14/27 x 3/2
14 x 3 = 42
27 x 2 = 54
42/54, divide both top and bottom by 6, you get 7/9, so the answer is C

14/27 * 3/2...........take the reciprocal and multiply
multiply them numerators and denominators directly
14*3/27*2
42/54
now to get the lowest form,divide the numerator and denominator by the same #
let's divide by 6/6
that gives us 7/9
so the answer is C
hope that helps

I listed a website in sources (below). It is a site I got my daughter's math teacher. It should help you understand it better. I could explain how to do it for you, but that wouldn't help you in the long run. Better to see for yourself. And that is what I tell my daughter. I will show her, but I will use examples only. Good luck.
