Answer:

2/9

Explanation:

1/4 divided by 1 1/8.

First rewrite 1 1/8 as an improper fraction.

You now have 1/4 divided by 9/8.

When dividing by a fraction you multiply by the reciprocal.

You now have 1/4 * 8/9.

Now Multiply the numerators across and the denominators across to get 8/36.

Simplify the fraction. 2/9
