Answer:


4 (7)/(8)

Explanation:

Change each mixed numeral into a fraction.


8 (2)/(3) / 1 (7)/(9) =


= (8 * 3 + 2)/(3) / (1 * 9 + 7)/(9)


= (26)/(3) / (16)/(9)

To divide a fraction by another fraction, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.


= (26)/(3) * (9)/(16)


= (26 * 9)/(3 * 16)


= (234)/(48)


= (39)/(8)


= 4 (7)/(8)
