Answer:


(141)/(92)

Explanation:

1) First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.


5(7)/(8) ÷
3(5)/(6)\\


=(47)/(8) ÷
(23)/(6) \\

2) To divide fractions, find the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping it, or switching the places of its numerator and denominator. Then, multiply the two fractions by multiplying their numerators and denominators together. Then, simplify the result to find the answer.


(47)/(8) ×
(6)/(23)


=(282)/(184) \\=(141)/(92)
