To multiply these fractions, we first need to convert the mixed number 1 3/4 into an improper fraction.
1 3/4 = (4 * 1 + 3)/4 = 7/4
Now, let's multiply 4/9 by 7/4.
(4/9) * (7/4) = (4 * 7)/(9 * 4) = 28/36
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
28/36 = (28/4)/(36/4) = 7/9
Therefore, the answer is 7/9 in simplest form.
