Answer:
[tex]\frac{31}{5}[/tex] or [tex]6 \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve/simplify:
[tex]3 \frac{7}{8} /\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
You have to change your dividend [tex]3\frac{7}{8}[/tex] into an improper fraction, first.
3 7/8 = [8(3) + 7]/8 = 31/8
Therefore, we have
31/8 ÷ 5/8
Next, find the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply the two.
31/8 (8/5) = [tex]\frac{31}{5}[/tex] or [tex]6 \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
