2. **Recall the order of operations:** Multiplication and division are performed from left to right.
3. **Calculate step-by-step:**
$$11 \times 4 = 44$$
So the expression becomes $$44 / 8$$.
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{44}{8} = \frac{\cancel{44}^{11} \times 4}{\cancel{8}^{2} \times 4} = \frac{11}{2}$$
