You can divide fractions and I'll show you how, I've long ago forgotten the reasons for my actions but trust me I know they're correct. Change them all into improper fractions first 4 and 5/6 would be 29/6, and 1 and 1/2 would be 3/2 then reverse the one that's dividing and multiply by it. By that I mean 3/2 becomes 2/3. Now we can multiply like this 29/6* 2/3 = 3.22222

I dont think u can divide fractions, bt u can do this 4 5/6 multiply 4 x time 6 + 5 = 29/6 so therefore 1 1/2 1x2 + 1 = 3/2 soo now we can 29/6  divided by 3/2 u can divide fractions so u switch 3/2 around tht it become 2/3 now we can multiply     29/6 x 2/3 =  58/6 = simplyify tht turn into 9 2/3 hope tht helped
