Answer:

27/35

Explanation:

1. Convert 1 4/5 into an improper fraction - to work out the numerator:

  • 5 x 1 = 5
  • and 5 + 4 = 9, so 1 4/5 = 9/5

2. Convert 2 1/3 into an improper fraction - to work out the numerator:

  • 3 x 2 = 6
  • and 6 + 1 = 7, so 2 1/3 = 7/3

3. Use KFC to divide the fractions - 9/5 ÷ 7/3:

  • Keep the first fraction the same
  • Flip the second fraction
  • Change the sign to x
  • 9/5 x 3/7

4. Multiply the fractions:

  • Numerator: 9 x 3 = 27
  • Denominator: 5 x 7 = 35

The answer is 27/35.

Hope this helps!
