Answer:
The correct answer is 2 9/14.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you can rewrite the number:
\(2\frac{5}{16}\)
\(\frac{5}{16} + \frac{2*16}{16}\)
\(\frac{5}{16} + \frac{32}{16} = \frac{37}{16}\)
Now, you have to divide:
\(\frac{\frac{37}{16}}{\frac{7}{8}}\) //multiply extreme with extreme and middle with middle.
\(\frac{37*8}{16*7}\)
\(\frac{296}{112} = \frac{ 148}{56} = \frac{74}{28} = \frac{37}{14}\) //simplify the fraction.
\(\frac{37}{14} = \frac{2*14}{14} + \frac{9}{14} = 2\frac{9}{14}\) //rewrite the result.
