Answer:

25/332

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write


(5)/(8)/(8+(3)/(10))

Let us convert the fraction on the right to an improper fraction


8+(3)/(10)=(83)/(10)

and the division becomes


(5)/(8)/(83)/(10)

taking the reciprocal of the fraction on the right turns the above into multiplication


(5)/(8)*(10)/(83)

which simplifies to


(5\cdot10)/(8\cdot83)
=(50)/(664)
=(50/2)/(664/2)
=(25)/(332)

which is our answer!
