Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you first divide 7 by 9.

Then, you divide 119 by 7/9.

[tex]\frac{7}{9} = 0.777777777777\\\\\frac{119}{0.77777777777} = 153.\\\\[/tex]

To check your work, divide 119 by 153, and you will get 0.777777777777, which is the same as 7 divided by 9.

So, the answer is A. 153

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided 119 by 7 which is 17. Then multiplied that by 2 because theres a gap of 2 between 7 and 9 and got 34. lastly added 119 by 34 and got 153. (Sorry if I got it wrong)
