[Math] how to calculate limits of greatest integer function

limits

I'm really confused, how can we calculate the limit of greatest integer function where the variable tends to infinity? Like for eg i had this question $\frac{\lfloor{(3x-2}\rfloor}{(2x+1)}$. A hint will be appreciated. Thanks

Since $x-1\leq \lfloor x\rfloor\leq x$, for $x>0$ we have $$\frac{3x-3}{2x+1} \leq \frac{\lfloor 3x-2 \rfloor}{2x+1} \leq \frac{3x-2}{2x+1}$$ The limit of the left and right expressions as $x$ goes to infinity is $\frac 3 2$, so the same holds for the middle, by the squeeze theorem.
