    Asumming that 3/5 is the number of miles Jennifer has gone in 1/5 of an hour. We can take 60 (# of minutes in an hour) divided by 5, which equals 12. So 3/5 is 36 minutes. to figure out how many 1/5 are in 8 miles we would take 8 times 5 which is 40. We would then take 3 times 8, which is 24. 40 - 24 = 16. So 16 times 5 = 80 minutes. 80 divided by 60 (# of minutes in an hour) is 1 hour and 20 minutes. So it takes Jennifer 1 hour and 20 minutes to travel 8 miles.
