From the question we are asked to divide 6 1/8 by 1 3/4

To do this, we first convert this improper fraction to proper fraction

6 1/8 = 49/8

1 3/4 = 7/4

The next step is to convert to decimal.

49/8 = 6.125

7/4 = 1.75

So lets divide 6.125 by 1.75

6.125/1.75 = 3.5

Now let's convert the decimal back to fraction

3.5 in fraction = 7/2 = 3 1/2

So, 6 1/8 divide by 1 3/4 = 3 1/2
