Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

First find 1 3/4 and 1 1/6 as an improper fraction. 1 3/4 = 7/4 because 1 times 4 plus three. 1 1/6 = 7/6 because 1 times 6 plus 1, so now you have 7/4 divided by 7/6. You change 7/6 to it's reciprocal, which is 6/7. Now it's like multiplication with fractions. 7*6=42. 4*7=28, so it's 42/28.

Now we want to simplify. It can be simplified to 1 1/2, which is also 1.5. Hope this helps.
