Answer:

1 1/8

Explanation:

10 1/2 ÷ 9 2/6 =

= 10 1/2 ÷ 9 1/3

= 21/2 ÷ 28/3

= 21/2 × 3/28

= 3/2 × 21/28

= 3/2 × 3/4

= 9/8

= 1 1/8

Answer: 1.125 or
1(1)/(8)

Explanation:

  1. Turn the mixed fraction into a regular fraction. Multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add that total to the number in the numerator. (For example:
    9(2)/(6) = 9 ×6=54 +2=
    (56)/(6))
  2. Once both mixed fractions are turned into regular fractions, flip one of them so they are written as their reciprocal (example:
    (56)/(6)=
    (6)/(56)) ONLY DO THIS TO ONE OF THE FRACTIONS, this will allow you to seamlessly cross multiply)
  3. After this, change the division sign to a multiplication sign and multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other. You should be left with
    (126)/(112)
  4. Simplify!

The picture attached shows these steps in detail!
