1 Use this rule: a divided by b/c = a x c/b

5 x 8/3

2 Simplify

40/3

So your answer is 40/3.

I hope this helps. :)

well when you do divide fractions you have to make it so it is 5/1 divided by 3/8
then keep change flip so it is 5/1 x 8/3 = 40/3 = 13 1/3 as a decimal that is 13.33333333333 and so on
