to divide fraction do the following:

3 (5)/(8) = ((8 * 3) + 5)/(8)
simplify we get

(29)/(8)
then to divide by 1/4 we need to flip it to 4/1 or just 4

(29)/(8) / (1)/(4) = (29)/(8) * (4)/(1)

simplify and we get

(116)/(8)
which equals 14.5 but you can't have half a person so the answer is:

14 \: \: coworkers
