(6 (1)/(2) - (7)/(8))/( (11)/(16) )

Start by subtracting the terms in the numerator.
To do this you have to have the same denominator.

(13)/(2) = (52)/(8)


(52)/(8) - (7)/(8) = (45)/(8)

now divide. Division is multiplying by the reciprocal so:

((45)/(8))/( (11)/(16)) = {(45)/(8) * (16)/(11) = (90)/(11) = 8 (2)/(11)

the answer is 90/91. 6 1/2 - 7/8 divided by 5 11/16. Turn 6 1/2 and 5 11/16 to an improper fraction. 6 1/2= 13/2. 5/11= 91/16. Then you have to get each fraction to have equal denominators. All of them can have a denominator of 16. So you times everything to get a denominator of 16. 13/2= 104/16. 7/8=14/16. 91/16 stays the same because the denominator is already 16. Next you subtract 104/16 and 14/16 and get 45/8.( because you need to put it in simplest form.) Lastly you divide 45/8 by 91/16 and get 90/91.
