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

hope this helps
