Answer:
First you need to make 3 1/2 into a improper fraction so you multiply 3 x 2 and then add 1 which is 7/2. Next you need to divide it by 5/8. So to divide fraction you have to do K.C.F. (Keep, change, flip). So you keep the 7/2 change the division symbol to a multiplication symbol. and then flip the 5/8 into 8/5. So the whole problem would be 7/2 x 8/5. next you just multiply.
7 x 8 = 56
2 x 5 = 10
next you just need to simplify into the smallest fraction and you can simplify both by 2. So 56 / 2 = 28 and 10 / 2 = 5. That's how the solution is 28/5.
Also, the value of the expression 5 x 8/5 is 25/8.
