Answer:

1)
7 (11)/(16)

2)
(7)/(15)

Explanation:

1) Let's convert the mixed fraction into a improper fraction.


5(1)/(8) \\ = (5(8) + 1)/(8) \\ = (41)/(8)

Let the number be x.


(2)/(3) x = (41)/(8) \\ x = (41)/(8) / (2)/(3) \\ x = (41)/(8) * (3)/(2) \\ x = (123)/(6) \\ x = 7 (11)/(16)

2)
4 (3)/(8) = (35)/(8)


9 (3)/(8) = (75)/(8)


4 (3)/(8) / 9 (3)/(8) \\ = (35)/(8) / (75)/(8) \\ = (35)/(8) * (8)/(75) \\ = (7)/(15)
