To divide the fractions, we need to first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
10 2/5 as an improper fraction is 52/5, and 2 1/4 as an improper fraction is 9/4.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, the division 52/5 ÷ 9/4 is equal to (52/5) * (4/9).
Simplifying the expression, we get:
(52/5) * (4/9) = (52*4) / (5*9) = 208/45.
Therefore, the quotient of 10 2/5 ÷ 2 1/4 is 208/45 or 4 8/45 in mixed number form.
