Answer :

Answer:

25/332

Explanation:

We first write

[tex]\frac{5}{8}\div(8+\frac{3}{10})[/tex]

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

[tex]8+\frac{3}{10}=\frac{83}{10}[/tex]

and the division becomes

[tex]\frac{5}{8}\div\frac{83}{10}[/tex]

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

[tex]\frac{5}{8}\times\frac{10}{83}[/tex]

which simplifies to

[tex]\frac{5\cdot10}{8\cdot83}[/tex][tex]=\frac{50}{664}[/tex][tex]=\frac{50\div2}{664\div2}[/tex][tex]=\frac{25}{332}[/tex]

which is our answer!
