Answer: 1⅗

Step-by-step explanation: We can write 8 divided by 5 as 8/5.

As 8/5 is an improper fraction, when we divide 8 by 5, we get 1 as quotient and 3 as remainder.

To convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction, we take quotient 1 as a whole part and in the fractional part remainder 1 as the numerator, and divisor 5 as the denominator.

The GCF of 5 and 1 is 1. So, divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF to simplify and convert it to a mixed fraction.

Thus, 8 divided by 5 as a fraction in simplest form is 1⅗.
