Answer:

5 1/3 ÷ 2 2/3

Write both mixed fractions (whole number in front of fully-reduced fraction) as improper fractions (numerator is larger than denominator).

5 1/3 = 16/3

2 2/3 = 8/3

16/3 ÷ 8/3

When dividing, switch the numerator and the denominator of the fraction after the division sign and change the division sign to a multiplication sign.

16/3 x 3/8

Multiply.

16/8

Divide by 8.

2

Hope this helps! :)
