Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert from mixed number to fraction

[tex]5\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5(2)+1}{2} =\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1\frac{3}{8}=\frac{(1)(8)+3}{8} =\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

2. Divide fractions

[tex]\frac{\frac{11}{2} }{\frac{11}{8} } =\frac{(11)(8)}{(11)(2)} =\frac{8}{2} =4[/tex]

Hope this helps
