There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

What is 2 1/3 divided by 1 4/5? First you need to start off by turning the fractions in to improper fractions.

2 1/3 = 7/3

1 4/5 = 9/5

Next, you find the reciprocal for the improper fraction and turn the division into multiplication. Basically when you find the reciprocal of something, you flip it around, so the denominator becomes the numerator and vice versa. So this is what the problem looks like:

7/3 x 5/9

Just multiply across, and the answer is 35/27 which can be simplified and turned into 1 8/27.
