1. **State the problem:** We are given that the area of Manitoba is about $1 \frac{1}{5}$ times the total area of the four Atlantic provinces, and the area of Yukon Territory is about $\frac{3}{4}$ the area of Manitoba. We need to express the area of Yukon Territory as a fraction of the total area of the Atlantic provinces.
2. **Convert mixed number to improper fraction:**
$$1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$$
3. **Express Manitoba's area in terms of Atlantic provinces' area:**
Let the total area of the Atlantic provinces be $A$. Then the area of Manitoba is:
$$M = \frac{6}{5} A$$
4. **Express Yukon Territory's area in terms of Manitoba's area:**
$$Y = \frac{3}{4} M = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{6}{5} A$$
5. **Multiply fractions:**
$$Y = \frac{3 \times 6}{4 \times 5} A = \frac{18}{20} A$$
6. **Simplify the fraction by canceling common factors:**
$$\frac{18}{20} = \frac{\cancel{18}^{9}}{\cancel{20}^{10}} = \frac{9}{10}$$
7. **Final answer:**
The area of Yukon Territory as a fraction of the total area of the Atlantic provinces is:
$$\boxed{\frac{9}{10}}$$
