[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To expand the expression -5/8 (3p + 8), we need to distribute the -5/8 to both terms inside the parentheses.

First, we distribute -5/8 to 3p.
-5/8 * 3p = -15p/8.

Next, we distribute -5/8 to 8.
-5/8 * 8 = -40/8 = -5.

Therefore, -5/8 (3p + 8) expands to -15p/8 - 5.
