Answer:
1) [tex]7 \frac{11}{16} [/tex]
2) [tex] \frac{7}{15} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Let's convert the mixed fraction into a improper fraction.
[tex]5\frac{1}{8} \\ = \frac{5(8) + 1}{8} \\ = \frac{41}{8} [/tex]
Let the number be x.
[tex] \frac{2}{3} x = \frac{41}{8} \\ x = \frac{41}{8} \div \frac{2}{3} \\ x = \frac{41}{8} \times \frac{3}{2} \\ x = \frac{123}{6} \\ x = 7 \frac{11}{16} [/tex]
2)[tex]4 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{35}{8} [/tex]
[tex]9 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{75}{8} [/tex]
[tex]4 \frac{3}{8} \div 9 \frac{3}{8} \\ = \frac{35}{8} \div \frac{75}{8} \\ = \frac{35}{8} \times \frac{8}{75} \\ = \frac{7}{15} [/tex]
