Answer:4 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiply 3 by 8 and that's the numerator - 24

[Denominator always stays the same]

2) Convert it to a mixed fraction - Divide numerator by

Denominator. [How many times can 5 fit into 24 and the rest that can't fit is the fraction]

3) the whole number is 4 and the fraction is 4/5
