Answer 2

`(8)/(5)`

Explanation:

If we have the division statement
`(3)/(5) / (3)/(8)`, this is the same as
`(3)/(5) \cdot (8)/(3)` (multiplying by the reciprocal)

Multiply the numerators and denominators and we get
`(24)/(15)`. If we divide both the numerator and denominator by 3, we can simplify the fraction down to
`(8)/(5)`.
