Answer:
4[tex]\frac{16}{45}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's make them into improper fractions.
8[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{49}{6}[/tex]
1[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex]
Division is the same thing as multiplying a reciprocal (numerator and denominator flipped). So, the equation is the same thing as:
[tex]\frac{49}{6}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex]
If this is simplified, we get [tex]\frac{196}{45}[/tex], or 4[tex]\frac{16}{45}[/tex]
