Answer:

Answer: 4 Pieces Can Be Made

Step-by-step explanation:

turn [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] into a fraction with the denominator of 8

[tex]5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{2} *\frac{4}{4}=\frac{44}{8}[/tex]

Turn [tex]1\frac{3}{8}[/tex] in a mixed number

[tex]1\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\frac{44}{8}/\frac{11}{8}=4[/tex]
