Answer:

4 2/3 ÷ 1 1/5 = 3 8/9.

Explanation:

We can convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions and then perform the division as follows:

4 2/3 ÷ 1 1/5

= (4 × 3 + 2) ÷ (3 × 1 + 1)

= 14/3 ÷ 6/5

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

= 14/3 × 5/6

= (14 × 5) ÷ (3 × 6)

= 70/18

We can simplify this fraction by finding the greatest common factor of 70 and 18, which is 2:

= (2 × 35) ÷ (2 × 9)

= 35/9

Finally, we can convert this improper fraction back to a mixed number:

35 ÷ 9 = 3 with a remainder of 8

So the final answer is:

4 2/3 ÷ 1 1/5 = 3 8/9.
