A division sentence a ÷ b can be written as the fraction \(\frac{a}{b}\). Then convert the improper fraction to a mixed number.
• 21 ÷ 9 = \(\frac{21}{9}\)
• Simplify: HCF of 21 and 9 is 3.
• \(\frac{21}{9}\) = \(\frac{21 \div 3}{9 \div 3}\) = \(\frac{7}{3}\)
• Convert to mixed number: 7 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1
• \(\frac{7}{3}\) = 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
• A = 1, B = 3
Final Answer: A = 1, B = 3
