Answer should be 8 1/2 but how?

Answer 1

`\text {Hello! Let's solve this Problem!}`

`\text {When dividing a mixed number you have to convert it into an Improper Fraction}`

`\text {\underline {Multiply and Add}}`

`\text {3*16=48}`

`\text {48+3=51}`

`\text {The denominator stays the same. Therefore your Improper Fraction should be 56/16}`

`\text {\underline {The Next Step Is to Divide the Numerator and Denominator}}`

`\text {51/3=17}\\\text {16/8=2}`

`\text {\underline {The Final Step is to convert your Improper Faction (17/2) into a Mixed Number}}`

`\text {17/2=8.5}`

`\text {8.5 is the same as 8 1/2.}`

`\text {Note: To convert an Improper Fraction to a Mixed Number you divide the Numerator}`
`\text {and Denominator} }`

`\text {Best of Luck!}`
