Answer 2

Answer:$10\frac{5}{8}$ or 10.625

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, note that 17 is the same as 17/1 since 17 divided by 1 is 17. Therefore, start by setting up the problem like this:

$\frac{17}{1} X \frac{5}{8}$

Multiply the numerators together (17 x 5 = 85) and multiply the denominators together (1 x 8 = 8) and make it into one fraction like so:

$\frac{85}{8}$

Convert the improper fraction above to a mixed number to get the answer:

$=10\frac{5}{8}$
