The given expression is
8 1/3 ÷ 2 1/2
The first step is to convert each mixed fraction to improper fraction.
8 1/3 = 25/3
2 1/2 = 5/2
The expression would be
25/3 ÷ 5/2
If the recprocal of 5/2 is used, the division symbol will be changed to multiplication. The reciprocal of 5/2 is 2/5. The expression would be
25/3 * 2/5
= 10/3
