  D.  2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You are asked to divide 2/3 by 1/4.

  (2/3)÷(1/4) = (2/3)×(4/1) = 8/3 = 2 2/3

The quotient is 2 2/3.

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
