Answer:

5 Problems

Explanation:

Based on the given conditions, formulate:
8 ÷
1(3)/(5)

Find common denominator and write the numerators above common denominator:
(8)/((5)/(5) +(3)/(5) )

Write the numerators over common denominator:
(8)/((5+3)/(3) )

Calculate the sum or difference:
(8)/((8)/(5) )

Divide a fraction by multiplying its reciprocal: 8 ×
(5)/(8)

Cross out the common factor: 5

get the result: 5

Answer: 5
