Answer:

$\frac{40}{19}\frac{cases}{hour}$ or $2\frac{2}{19}\frac{cases}{hour}$

Step-by-step breakdown:

It is known that

Jerry processes $5$ cases within the timeframe of $2\frac{3}{8}$ hours.

To determine the cases heard per hour, simply divide $5$ cases by $2\frac{3}{8}$ hours.

First, convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.

$2\frac{3}{8}=\frac{2*8+3}{8}=\frac{19}{8}$

$\frac{5}{(19/8)} =\frac{40}{19}\frac{cases}{hour}$

Then, revert it to a mixed number.

$\frac{40}{19}\frac{cases}{hour}=\frac{38}{19}+\frac{2}{19}=2\frac{2}{19}\frac{cases}{hour}$
