Answer 1

To convert a mixed number to a fraction, use the following formula:

(Mixed number) = (Whole number) + (Fraction)

In this case:

2 2/3 = 2 + 2/3

Now, to turn the whole number into a fraction, just multiply it by the denominator of the fraction:

2 * (3/3) = 6/3

Now, add the two fractions together:

6/3 + 2/3 = 8/3

Now, let's check which quotient corresponds to the mixed number:

A: 3 ÷ 7 = 3/7

B: 7 ÷ 3 = 7/3

C: 3 ÷ 8 = 3/8

D: 8 ÷ 3 = 8/3

As we can see, the correct quotient is 8/3, which is option D.
