Answer:
14 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
It's easiest to convert 5 1/2 to the improper fraction 11/2.
Then the problem calls for dividing 11/2 by 3/8, which, in turn, is equivalent to
the product of 11/2 and 8/3:
11 8
---- * ----- = 88/6 or 44/3 or 14 2/3
2 3
Optionally you could convert to mixed decimal fractions:
5.5
---------- = 14 2/3 (same as before)
0.375
