Answer:

80/36, 20/29 or 2 2/9

Explanation:

First, convert 1 7/9 to an improper fraction, which would be 16/9.

Next, to calculate, I recommend using the strategy keep, change, flip. Here is an example:

Keep the way the first fraction is:

16/9 รท 4/5

Change the division symbol to a multiplication symbol:

16/9 x 4/5

Now flip the numbers of the second fraction you are multiplying:

16/9 x 5/4

16/9 x 5/4 = 80/36 or 20/9 (80/36 divided by four)

To get the mixed fraction answer, divide the numerator by the denominator and you will get 2 2/9. Hope this helps!
