The problem in the image is:

\[ 18 \div \frac{8}{3} \]

To solve this:

1. Division by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So, we can rewrite this as:

\[
18 \times \frac{3}{8}
\]

2. Now multiply:

\[
18 \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{18 \times 3}{8} = \frac{54}{8}
\]

3. Simplify the fraction:

\[
\frac{54}{8} = \frac{27}{4}
\]

4. Since the answer is asked in its lowest terms, \(\frac{27}{4}\) is already in its simplest form. Alternatively, as a mixed number:

\[
\frac{27}{4} = 6 \frac{3}{4}
\]

So the answer is \(\frac{27}{4}\) or \(6 \frac{3}{4}\).
