1 whole divided by 3/16 is: 5 1/3

1/2 divided by 3/16 is: 2 2/3

I'm guessing this is what you were asking? The question was a bit unclear.

I think they want to know this :

[ 1 + 1/2 ] / [3 / 16] =

[3/2] / [ 3/16] invert the second fraction and multiply

[ 3/2] * [ 16/ 3] swap denominators

[3 / 3 ] * [ 16 / 2 ] =

1 * 8 =

8
