Answer:

6 and 7/8

Explanation:

55 ÷ 8 can only be 6 times without any remainders

8 × 6 = 48

8 × 7 = 56

then you determine your remainders

55-48= 7 which is 7 so you have 7/8 left but this fraction can be reduced anymore

so 6 wholes and 7/8 as the fraction gives you 6 and 7/8

I hope this helps
