A mixed number can be rewritten as the quotient of two numbers. <span>For instance, "1 and 1/4" = 5/4. 5 is not a multiple of 4 and therefore 5/4 is neither an integer nor a whole number. By definition, a mixed number has a nonzero remainder. Both integers and whole numbers have no remainder by definition, so it is impossible for a mixed number to be either.</span>

The answer and how you got the answer

olasank [31]

Answer:

$\frac{34}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are asked to evaluate

$4\tfrac{1}{4}$ ÷ $1\tfrac{7}{8}$

Above we are given mixed fraction which can be converted in proper fraction using formula given below

$a\tfrac{b}{c}=\frac{a \times c +b}{c}$

Hence

$4\tfrac{1}{4}=\frac{4 \times 4 +1}{4}$

$4\tfrac{1}{4}=\frac{17}{4}$

Also

$1\tfrac{7}{8}=\frac{1 \times 8 +7}{8}$

$1\tfrac{7}{8}=\frac{15}{8}$

Hence

$4\tfrac{1}{4}$ ÷ $1\tfrac{7}{8}$

can be written as

$\frac{17}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{15}{8}$

Also we know the rule for dividing fraction is as given below

$\frac{a}{b}$ ÷ $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$

Hence

$\frac{17}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{15}{8}$ = $\frac{17}{4} \times \frac{8}{15}$

= $\frac{17 \times 2}{15}$

= $\frac{34}{15}$
