17 13/18 divided by 2 7/9

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

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{17\frac{13}{18}}\implies \cfrac{17\cdot 18 +13}{18}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{319}{18}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{7}{9}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 9+7}{9}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{9}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \cfrac{319}{18}\div \cfrac{25}{9}\implies \cfrac{319}{\underset{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 18 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{1}{~~\begin{matrix} 9 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{25}\implies \cfrac{319}{50}\implies 6\frac{19}{50}$
