$$\begin{aligned}&1\frac{4}{7} : \frac{16}{21} = \frac{1 \cdot 7 + 4}{7} : \frac{16}{21} = \frac{7+4}{7} : \frac{16}{21} = \frac{11}{7} : \frac{16}{21} = \frac{11}{7} \cdot \frac{21}{16} = \frac{11 \cdot 21}{7 \cdot 16} =\\&= \frac{11 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 16} = \frac{33}{16} = 2\frac{1}{16}\\
&\text{Ответ: } \frac{33}{16} = 2\frac{1}{16}\end{aligned}$$
