When dividing a fraction, remember the letters kfm.
Keep the first number. 8/6 stays 8/6
Flip the second number. 2 as a fraction is 2/1. You have to
(flip or invert which means 2/1 is 1/2.
Multiply the numbers. 8/6 x 1/2 = 8/12, reduced to 2/3
****Please. All of the above people must have forgotten the division rules for dividing fractions and their answers are wrong. Do not use them. I'm a math teacher.
Dividing fractions. All numbers have to be fractions. You do not add. You remember the rules I gave you above. They are used for all division fraction problems.

you need to write 2 as a fraction too. It has to have the same denominator as "8/6" so that you add them
8/6 +2/1
multiply 2/1 by (6/6)
6/6 is just a special case of 1 so you're not changing the value of the fraction, just its form.
8/6 + 12/6
now that they have the same denominator you can add their numerators.
(8+12) / 6 = 20/6
reduce = 10/3

8/6 is equivalent to 1 2/6 which simplifies to 1 1/3
thus 8/6 + 2 = 1 1/3 + 2
= 3 1/3
hope this helps!:P
