Question

Please help me with this math problem

Answer 1

`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)`

Answer 2

`(39)/(8)`

Explanation:

`8(2)/(3)/ 1(7)/(9)= \\\\\\(26)/(3)/ (16)/(9)= \\\\\\ (26)/(3)*(9)/(16)= \\\\\\(26* 9)/(3* 16)= \\\\\\(234)/(48)= \\\\\\\boxed{(39)/(8)}`

Hope this helps!
