When dividing fractions, all you do is flip the second number and then multiply across. No need for finding common denominators.
First you'll need to make both of these into improper fractions.
17 11/12 = 215/12
(I multiplied 17 x 12, then added 11.)
6 1/10 = 61/10
Then here's what you're left with:
215/12 x 61/10 = ??
Once you've done the multiplying, you'll need to reduce as much as possible. What do you get?

DO you multiply across? Like 215 x 61= 13,115?

Almost. Remember to <b>flip the second fraction</b> before you multiply, though.
215/12 x 10/61 =
(I shouldn't have put the x in the post above. That should have been a division sign.)
215/12 x 10/61 =
