8 goes into 15 one time so you put a one and subtract 8 from 15 to get 7 so that is the new numerator ( the number on top of the denominator(8)) so the new fraction is 1 7/8
15/8 as a mixed number

1) divide 15 by 8
15÷ 8 = 1 and 7 left

2) Simplify 
1 [tex] \frac{7}{8} [/tex] = mixed fraction 



Check your work

8 x 1 = 8 

8 + 7 = 15 

15/8

The answer is correct
