First, change each mixed fraction into improper
2 3/8 = 19/8
1 3/4 = 7/4
The problem will look like: (19/8)/(7/4)
To solve, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into a multiplication sign.
(19/8)/(7/4) = (19/8) x (4/7)
Multiply across
(19/8) x (4/7) = 76/56
Simplify.
76/56 simplified = 19/14
Change to mixed fraction
19/14 = 14/14 + 5/14 = 1 5/14
1 5/14 is your answer

The amount spent as a percentage of the budget can be found from
... (actual amount)/(total budget) × 100%
... = (actual amount)/3600×100%
... = ((actual amount)/36)%
For housing, this is
... (820/36)% = 22.78% . . . . less than budget for housing
For transportation, this is
... (370/36)% = 10.28% . . . . more than budget for transportation
