##13 ##pieces can be cut.
If the question sounds a bit confusing at first, make one similar to it, but with easy numbers.
A sausage is 10 inches long and needs to be cut into pieces each of 2 inches long.
We realise easily that this is a division .##10div2 = 5″” ##pieces will be cut.
Now do the same with the numbers we are given:
##9 div 2/3 = 9/1 xx 3/2##
=##27/2##
=##13 ## pieces and there will be a small piece left over
