    15/8 is an improper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator.  For every 8 eighths, you have 1.  Subtract 8 from 15 and you have 1 with 7/8 left over (15-8 = 7)   1 7/8.

    If you had 12/8, you would do the same thing.  8 from 12 = 4  = 1 4/8 or 1 1/2.

    The dividing instruction is correct; I just use subtraction because it's easier than the guesstimating,  multiplying, and subtracting that goes into the process of division, but I've been doing this stuff for a long time and it makes sense to me.

    I think 1 and 7/8

    first divide 8 into 15 then your remaider is your numerator and your denominator is15 so it would be 1 and 7/15
