Answer 1

$= 2 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{1 9}{8}$
$= 1 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$
So
$= \frac{\frac{1 9}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}$
$= \frac{1 9}{8} \times \frac{4}{5}$
By simplification
$= \frac{1 9}{1 0} = 1 \frac{9}{1 0} = 1.9$

Answer 2

= 2 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{1 9}{8}

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

So

= \frac{\frac{1 9}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}

= \frac{1 9}{8} \times \frac{4}{5}

By simplification

= \frac{1 9}{1 0} = 1 \frac{9}{1 0} = 1.9
