Answer: 15/32

Explanation:

To solve, 5/8 ÷ 1 1/3

First convert the improper fraction to proper fraction, 1 1/3= 4/3

Then rewrite the question as:

5/8 ÷ 4/3

Change the sign to multiplication and find the reciprocal of the second fraction:

5/8 × 3/4

Multiply the numerators: 5 x 3 = 15

Multiply the denominators: 8 x 4 = 32

= 15/32
