To determine the number of bags Malcolm can fill, you need to divide 5 1/4 (5 and 1/4) by 5/8.
So, the answer is: divide 5 1/4 by 5/8

If you divide 5/8 by 5 1/4, you would get a different value than dividing 5 1/4 by 5/8.
The other options are:
- Multiply 5 1/4 by 5/8
- Divide 5 1/4 by 5/8
But based on the question, to determine the number of bags Malcolm can fill, the correct option is to divide 5 1/4 by 5/8.
