Answer:

see below

Explanation:

90/7 ÷ 1 3/4

Change to an improper fraction

90/7 ÷ (4*1+3)/4

90/7 ÷7/4

Copy dot flip

90/7 * 4/7

360 /49

The exact answer is 7 17/49

To estimate I would round 49 to 50 and 360 to 350

350/50 is approximately 7 and since I rounded the numerator down and the denominator up, the answer would be a little higher
