7/8 divided by 2 1/4
7/8 divided by 9/4
7/8 times(multiple by) 4/9
7/2 times 1/9
Step 1) 7 times 1 =7 and Step 2) 2 times 9 =18
So it is 7/18

Hello there!

This is how we solve this problem

(7)/(8) / 2 (1)/(4) \: conveting \: to \: improper \: faction\\ \\ = (7)/(8) / (9)/(4) \\ = (7)/(8) * (4)/(9) \: multiply \: through \\ = (7)/(18)

= 7/18
