Answer: 1 4/5 / 2/7 = 63/
10
= 6 3/10
= 6.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a mixed number 1 4/
5
to a improper fraction: 1 4/5 = 1 4/
5
= 1 · 5 + 4/
5
= 5 + 4/
5
= 9/

To find a new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 5/
5
= 5/
5
b) Add the answer from previous step 5 to the numerator 4. New numerator is 5 + 4 = 9
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 9) over the denominator 5.
One and four fifths is nine fifths
Divide: 9/
5
: 2/
7
= 9/
5
· 7/
2
= 9 · 7/
5 · 2
= 63/

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 2/
7
is 7/
2
) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the following intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In other words - nine fifths divided by two sevenths = sixty-three tenths.
