Answer:

17 1/2

Explanation:

To divide a whole number and a fraction, write the whole number as a fraction (in this case, 5 becomes 5/1). Then, change the division symbol to a multiplication symbol. After that, you flip the second number and multiply. As you can see, you get 35/2 as the answer. To simplify that, divide 35 by 2. The answer becomes the whole number, the divisor becomes the denominator, and the remainder becomes the numerator. That means our simplified answer is 17 1/2.
