Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

First, you have to make mixed number into an improper fraction :

5 2/5 = (5×5)+2 / 5

= 27/5

4 1/8 = (4×8)+1 / 8

= 32+1 / 8

= 33/8

Next is to divide the fractions by multiplying an upside down fractions :

27/5 ÷ 33/8

= 27/5 × 8/33

= 9/5 × 8/11

= (9×8)/(5×11)

= 72/55

= 1 17/55
