    Duration of each game playing = 1 3/4 hours.

    Let us convert 1 3/4 into mixed fracions first.

    1 3/4 = (1*4+3) / 4 = 7/4 hours.

    Total number of hours Rory want to play = 9 hours.

    Total number of games = Total number of hours : Duration of each game.

    Plugging values, we get

    Total number of games = 9 : 7/4.

    Let us convert division sign into multiplication and flip the right side fraction, we get

    9 * 4/7

    Multiplying across, we get

    (9*4) / 7 = 36/7.

    Let us convert 36/7 into mixed fractions.

    On dividing 36 by 7, we get quotient=5 and remainder=1.

    So the answer 36/7 in fraction for will be 5 1/7.

    Number of games Rory can play = 5 1/7 games.

    Therefore, correct option is C. 5 1/7.
