Answer: 9 and 7eights

Step-by-step explanation: Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction. Which would equal, 9 and 7eights.
