Make both into an improper fraction...
2 1/8= 17/8 2= 2/1
Now you would do 17/8 divided by 2/1, one thing though, flip the 2/1 to make it a 1/2.
Than instead of the division sign, make it into a multiplication sign!
When you do this you should get the answer 1 1/16
Hope this helped and have a GREAT day!!

⇒ Solutions

Make mixed fraction to improper fraction
= 17/8 + 2/1

Make same denominators
= ((17 × 1) + (2 × 8)) / (8 × 1)

Simplify
= (17 + 16) / 8

Simplify (17 + 16) / 8
= 33/8

Mixed Fraction
= 4 1/8
