Answer: 10 2/3

Explanation:

First, convert both your mixed numbers to fractions.

17 1/3 = 52/3 and 1 5/8 = 13/8

52/3 ÷ 13/8

When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal

52/3 x 8/13

Then multiply top x top, and bottom x bottom.

52 • 8 / 3 • 13 = 416/39

Then simplify. Both 416 and 39 are divisible by 13.

32/3

Finally, convert to a mixed number.

32/3 = 10 2/3
