Answer:

3 18/19

Explanation:

1. Change to improper fractions.

(You do this by multiplying the denominator and the whole number, then add the numerator.)

7 1/2 ⇒ 15/2

1 9/10 ⇒ 19/10

So now its: 15/2 ÷ 19/10

2. Keep, change, flip

Keep the first number (15/2), change the division to multiplication, flip the other fraction (From 19/10 to 10/19).

3. Multiply

15/2 × 10/19 = 150/38

Simplified, the answer is 3 18/19
