Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 3/5 : 1 4/5= 2/1 = 2

Answer 2

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{3}{5}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+3}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{18}{5}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{4}{5}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 5+4}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \cfrac{18}{5}\div \cfrac{9}{5}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 18 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{~~\begin{matrix} 5 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot \cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 5 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}{~~\begin{matrix} 9 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\implies 2$
