I was given the picture of this rectangle and I have 2 questions.
1. Can you see 3/5 of 8 in this picture? Where?
2. Can you see 5/3 of 3/5 in this picture?
Any help would be appreciated!

Original Problem
No this was a series of 5 problems.
1. Can you see 3/5 of something in this picture? -This one was pretty obvious.
2. Can you see 5/3 of something in this picture? -If you call the 3 shaded rectangles the whole and the 5 total pieces the part, then that makes 5/3.
3. Can you see 6/10 of something in this picture? -If you divided each rectangle in half, then the 3/5 becomes 6/10.
The 4th and the 5th problems in the series (what I posted earlier) were the ones that I had trouble with and couldn't figure out.
