Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 1 17/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we first need to turn these mixed numbers into fractions.

2 1/3 = 7/3

1 1/5 = 6/5

We know that dividing a fraction by another fraction is the same as multiplying it by the other fractions reciprocal, where the numerator and the denominator switch places.

7/3 ÷ 6/5 = 7/3 x 5/6 = 35/18

Since 35/18 is an improper fraction, we need to tun it into a mixed number

35/18 = 1 17/18

Therefore, our final answer is 1 17/18.
