The question can be read as how many
3 (7)/(8) can be made out of
131 (3)/(4)


131 (3)/(4)÷
3 (7)/(8) ⇒ We need to change each mixed number into an improper fraction


131 (3)/(4)= ([131*4]+3)/(4)= (527)/(4)

3 (7)/(8)= ([3*8]+7)/(8) = (31)/(8)


(527)/(4)÷
(31)/(8)

(527)/(4)×
(8)/(31)

(527*8)/(4*31)= (4216)/(248) =17

Answer: 17 uniform
