Ans: that there are 8 pieces total

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this scenarios fraction is a part to whole relationship, ( 3 out of 8 pieces).

That means the numerator(top number)
is the part

And the denominator(bottom number)
is the whole.

So the denominator tells us how many pieces there are total
