The answer is 2 9/16

There are two ways to compute this fraction division.
One is to divide separately : 5/2 and (1/8) divided by two, giving 2 1/2 and 1/16
and change the 1/2 to 8/16 in order to add.
2 8/16 + 1/16 = 2 9/16
---
The other way is to change the entire number to eighths: 5 1/8 = 41/8
and division by 2 yields 41/16 which can be reduced to 2 9/16
1/5 ÷ 1/8 = 13/5
3/8 divided by 5/8 = 3/5
5 and 1/3
To divide by a fraction, you multiply with its reciprocal.
3/8 divided by 1/7 = 3/8 (7) = 21/8 or 2 5/8
If you mean 2 and 1/8 divided by 1/5 then the answer is 10.625
The answer is 2 and 5/6
1/2 x 5/2 = 5/4
1/5 ÷ 1/8 = 13/5
3/8 divided by 5/8 = 3/5
5 and 1/3
To divide by a fraction, you multiply with its reciprocal.
5 5/8 divided by 5 = 5.625/5 = 1.125 = 1 1/8 (one and one-eighth)
1
3/8 divided by 1/7 = 3/8 (7) = 21/8 or 2 5/8
5
Lets see... 1/8 is .125 ... so 5 divided by .125 is 40.
