It would make 5 complete frames, and about 8/10 of another frame.
108 / 18.375 = 5.8&*)&^&%*$*
I used a calculator.
You could keep adding 18 and 3/8 over and over again until you get right under 108 if you're good at math like me, but most people would have to add 18 and 3/8 separately.

Thanks, and if you liked my answer, please consider giving me the brainliest answer, because I need 5 of them to get to the next level.
namely, how many times does 18 and 3/8 go into 108?

[tex]\bf \cfrac{108}{18\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{108}{\frac{18\cdot 8+3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{108}{\frac{147}{8}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{108}{1}}{\frac{147}{8}}\implies \cfrac{108}{1}\cdot \cfrac{8}{147} \\\\\\ \cfrac{36\cdot \underline{3}}{1}\cdot \cfrac{8}{\underline{3}\cdot 49}\implies \cfrac{288}{49} \\\\\\ \textit{49 goes into 288 \underline{5 times}, with a \underline{remainder} of 43}\implies 5\frac{43}{49}[/tex]
