Answer

22/25

Work Step by Step

We first put the two whole numbers into fraction form, giving us the following: $\frac{11}{5} \div \frac{5}{2}$ Because we cannot divide by a fraction, we must multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Because the reciprocal of 5/2 is 2/5, we obtain: $\frac{11}{5}\times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{22}{25}$.
