Answer:

7/16

Explanation:

Convert "mixed numbers" into "improper fractions":

1 1/6 = 7/6

2 2/3 = 8/3

1 1/6 divided by 2 2/3 = 7/6 divided by 8/3

Apply the KFC rule:

1) Keep the first

7/6

2) Flip the second

8/3 becomes 3/8

3) Change the sign

7/6 multiplied by 3/8

7/6 × 3/8

= 7×3 / 6×8

= 21/48

= 7/16
