A
\(\frac{5}{9}\)
B
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
C
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
D
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
2\(\frac{1}{4} \times 3\frac{1}{2} \div 4 \frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{7}{2} \div \frac{35}{8}\)
= \(\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{8}{35}\)
= \(\frac{9}{5}\)
= 1 \(\frac{4}{5}\)
