Answer:
The correct result would be 3 3/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you would like to find the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8, you can calculate this using the following steps:
2 1/4 = 9/4
2 1/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 * 8/5 = 18/5 = 3 3/5

This problem is an example of an arithmetic series.
The common difference of the second term (15) with the first term (9) and the third term (21) with the second term (15) [15-9=6; 21-15=6] is 6.
The formula for solving this is:
An= A1 +(n-1)*d where An is the nth term, A1 is the first term, n is the number of terms and d is the common difference.
An=9+ (31-1)*6 = 189
The answer is 189.
