First, turn these mixed numbers into improper fractions,
41(2)/(3) = ((41*3)+2)/(3) = (123)/(3) and
4 (1)/(4) = ((4*4)+1)/(4) = (17)/(4). Next divide, which you do by flipping the second fraction and multiplying.
(123)/(3) / (17)/(4) = (123)/(3) * (4)/(17) = (123*4)/(3*17) = (492)/(51). If necessary, you could also turn this into a decimal, roughly 9.647, or back into a mixed fraction,
9 (33)/(51).
