Answer
$\frac{45}{13}$
Work Step by Step
We can write the given ratio as a fraction and then simplify in lowest terms.
$\frac{4\frac{1}{2}miles}{1\frac{3}{10}miles}$
Since both the denominator and numerator have the same unit, we can divide out the common unit.
$\frac{4\frac{1}{2}}{1\frac{3}{10}}=\frac{\frac{9}{2}}{\frac{13}{10}}=\frac{9}{2}\times\frac{10}{13}=\frac{9\times10}{2\times13}=\frac{90}{26}=\frac{90\div2}{26\div2}=\frac{45}{13}$
