Answer: 1 and 5/7

Step-by-step explanation: To divide mixed numbers,

first write the mixed numbers as improper fractions.

So here, we can write 2 and 4/7 as the improper fraction 18/7

and we can write 1 and 3/6 as the improper fraction 9/6.

If you need a review of how to write a mixed number

as i improper fraction, let me know below and I will help.

So here, we have 18/7 ÷ 9/6.

Remember that dividing by a fraction is the same

as multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction.

So here, 18/7 ÷ 9/6 is the same as 18/7 × 6/9.

So now we're simply multiplying fractions.

Remember that when we're multiplying fractions,

we want to cross-cancel first whenever possible.

So here, notice that we can cross-cancel 9 and 18 to 2 and 1.

However, we can't cross-cancel 7 and 6.

So we simply multiply across the numerators

and then across the denominators and we have 12/7.

We can write 12/7 as the mixed number 1 and 5/7.
