Answer:


(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).

Hope this helped!
