Answer:
![8\frac{2}{6}\\\\2\frac{1}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C2%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D)
Fractions are sometimes the same as dividing, for this case, that rule applies.
![\frac{50}{6}\\\\\frac{11}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B50%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B11%7D%7B5%7D)
↑ These improper fractions translate to...
![\frac{50}{6} = 8\frac{1}{3} -- > 8\frac{2}{6} \\\\ \frac{11}{5} = 2\frac{1}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B50%7D%7B6%7D%20%3D%208%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20--%20%3E%208%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B6%7D%20%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7B11%7D%7B5%7D%20%3D%202%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D)
Answer:
