Answer:
The proportion is 1/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Converting the mixed numbers to fraction:
[tex]2\frac{1}{9}=\frac{2\ast9+1}{9}=\frac{19}{9}[/tex][tex]1\frac{8}{9}=\frac{9\ast1+8}{9}=\frac{17}{9}[/tex]Proportion:
19/9 is to 19 as 17/9 is to 17
To find the proportion, we solve one of these divisions. So
[tex]\frac{\frac{19}{9}}{19}=\frac{19}{9}\ast\frac{1}{19}=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]The proportion is 1/9.
