First you can multiply both numbers by 10 to remove the decimals

Then you just divide 171 by 9
=19

the answer is 19


work :

1-multiply the numbers by a submultiple of 10 to remove the decimal points.

17.1 * 10 = 171 \\ \\ 0.9 * 10 = 9

2-

now do the division :

171 / 9 = 19

so the answer is 19



note: there is no need to get it back to decimal number unless you multiply just one of the numbers or multiply the numbers with different submultiples of 10



good luck
