This is a mixed number with 1 as the whole part, and 3/8 as the fractional part.

Explanation:

The mixed number 5 & 1/2 converts to the improper fraction 11/2

Use this formula

a & b/c = (a*c+b)/c

to convert from a mixed number to an improper fraction.

Then we'll divide the 11/2 over 4 to get

(11/2) divide 4 = (11/2)*(1/4) = 11/8

Let's convert that to a mixed number

11/8 = (8+3)/8

11/8 = 8/8 + 3/8

11/8 = 1 + 3/8

11/8 = 1 & 3/8

Each sibling gets one full cup, plus an extra 3/8 of a cup, of frosting.
