$1 \frac{9}{10} = 1.9$ $1 9/10=1.9$

= $2 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{19}{8}$ $2 3/8=19/8$

= $1 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$ $1 1/4=5/4$

So

= $\frac{\frac{19}{8}}{\frac{5}{4}}$ $(19/8)/(5/4)$

= $\frac{19}{8} \cdot \frac{4}{5}$ $19/8*4/5$

By Simplification

= $\frac{19}{10} = 1 \frac{9}{10} = 1.9$ $19/10=1 9/10=1.9$

$1 \frac{9}{10}$ $1 9/10$

Change each to improper fractions first:

$2 \frac{3}{8} \div 1 \frac{1}{4}$ $2 3/8 div 1 1/4$

$= \frac{19}{8} \div \frac{5}{4}$ $= 19/8 div 5/4$

Multiply by the reciprocal and cancel.

$19/cancel8^2 xxcancel4/5$

$= 19/10 = 1 9/10$
