Detailed Solution

The given fraction is mixed. And for converting the fixed fraction into an improper fraction first we have to multiply the whole number with the denominator which is 8

5 \frac{7}{8} = 40 \frac{7}{8}

Now, add the answer to the numerator

40 = 7 = 47

Now, 47 is the new numerator and we write this 47 over the denominator that is 8

\frac{47}{8}

Thus the improper fraction of the given mixed fraction is

\frac{47}{8}
