Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To divide mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions: $5 \frac{7}{8} = \frac{47}{8}$ and $3 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{11}{3}$. Then, divide by multiplying by the reciprocal: $\frac{47}{8} \times \frac{3}{11} = \frac{141}{88}$. Converting $\frac{141}{88}$ to a mixed number gives $1 \frac{53}{88}$.
