This is the kind of question that requires parentheses, since it can describe two entirely different situations, which are:

6/(5x8) or (6/5)x8. You will note that the first case works out to be 6/40 = 3/20 = .15 and the second works our to be 1.2 x 8 = 9.6 which is quite different from the first answer.
