Answer: i just did this in school the other day! your answer is, 1 3/8

Step-by-step explanation: ignore the whole number, then subtract 5 from 3 and because you already have a common denominator, you don't need to deal with those shenanigans.

well you can't subtract 5 from 3 so you use the whole number and 3 becomes 8 5 from 8 is 3 so your answer is 1 3/8!
