Answer:


46

Explanation:

First, we can represent the dividend,
5 (3)/(4), as an improper fraction.


5(3)/(4) = ((5* 4) + 3)/(4) = (23)/(4)

Then, we can multiply it by
(2)/(2) so that it shares a common denominator with the divisor, which is
(1)/(8). Note that this will NOT change the value of the expression because it is the same as multiplying by 1.


(23)/(4) * (2)/(2) = (46)/(8)

Finally, we can execute the division.


(46)/(8) /(1)/(8) = 46 / 1 = \boxed{46}
