Answer

7 7/8 ÷ 9/16 =​ 14

Step-by-step explanation

The key to answering this is to convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction, then, solve knowing that the key to dividing fractions is to convert the fraction after the division sign into its reciprocal and the division sign is converted into a multiplication sign.

7 7/8 = (63/8)


\begin{gathered} 7(7)/(8)/(9)/(16) \\ =(63)/(8)/(9)/(16) \\ =(63)/(8)*(16)/(9) \\ =(63)/(9)*(16)/(8) \\ =7*2 \\ =14 \end{gathered}

Hope this Helps!!!
