So we divide 10 and 2/3 by 8:

[tex] 10\frac{2}{3} /8[/tex]

first let's make the first number a fraction so that we're not too confused;77[tex] [tex]\frac{(10*3)+2}{3} /8[/tex]


and calculate:

[tex]\frac{(32}{3} /8[/tex]

now we can multiply 8 by the denominator:

[tex]\frac{32}{3*8}[/tex]

and simplify:

[tex]\frac{4}{3*1}[/tex]

and that's the answer!

we can also say that it's 1 and [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] long (1.(3))

[tex]1 \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
