Answer:

54 9/14

Explanation:

A fraction bar means division. We see how many times 14 goes into 765; it goes 54 times.

54(14) = 756. This leaves

765-756 = 9 remaining, which goes over 14; this gives us

54 9/14

the answer is 54 9/14

because Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.
