Answer:

4 44/49

Explanation:

7 7/9 is 70/9

then u use 70/9 multiply by 7/4(I call it keep, change, flip method for division of fraction)

You keep the 1st fraction and because it is a mixed fraction, changing it to improper fraction is easier to solve it later on.

after that, you change the division sign to multiply sign(÷ to ×)

then you flip the 2nd fraction, which means 7/4 becomes 4/7

So overall it becomes 60/7 × 4/7 =240/49,4 44/49 as a mixed fraction.

Answer is 4 44/49
