namely, how many times does 2/3 go into 4 and 1/2?

first, let's convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and do the division.

[tex]\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{\quad \frac{9}{2}\quad }{\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies 6\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
