How would you do 5/12 multipled by 1/5 times 8

The answer would be 2/3

first you should go left to right when solving these equations:

5/12 ∙ 1/5

= 5/60

Then you multiply 5/60 and 8

5/60 ∙ 8/1 (8/1 is still a whole number. It makes it easier to multiply)

= 40/60 = 2/3

So, the answer is 2/3.
