Simple...

you have: Ayita has \(5 \frac{1}{2}\) cups of trail mix and she wants to divide it into \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup of servings-->>

So..

\(5 \frac{1}{2}\)÷\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Change \(5 \frac{1}{2}\) into an improper fraction...

=\(\frac{11}{2}\)

Leaving you with...

\(\frac{11}{2}\)÷\(\frac{3}{4}\)

But, remember, you cannot divide fractions; you must find the reciprocal and then multiply the improper fractions-->>

\(\frac{11}{2} * \frac{4}{3} = \frac{44}{6} = \frac{22}{3}\)

But, you're still not done convert \(\frac{22}{3}\) to a mixed number-->>

\(7 \frac{1}{3}\)

Thus, your answer.
