Answer:

3

Explanation:

To divide fractions, we can first turn them into improper fractions.

8 1/4 = 33/4

2 3/4 = 11/4

Next, to divide fractions, we use the method of 'keep change flip,' which consists of keeping the first fraction, changing the division sign into a multiplication sign, and flip the second fractoin. With this method, we get:

33/4 * 4/11

Now, we can multiply as the usual to get

132/44, then to simplify, we get 3.

The final answer is 3.
