1. 8 4/5 ÷ 8

2. 3 12/15 ÷ 10/21

3. 12 8/9 ÷ 11/15

4. 15 6/7 ÷ 3/5

5. 3 9/10 ÷ 3

Let's solve each of these division problems.

### 1. \( 8 \frac{4}{5} \div 8 \)
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
8 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{44}{5}
\]
Now, divide by 8 (which is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of 8, i.e., \( \frac{1}{8} \)):
\[
\frac{44}{5} \div 8 = \frac{44}{5} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{44}{40} = \frac{11}{10}
\]
So, the result is \( \frac{11}{10} \) or 1.1.

### 2. \( 3 \frac{12}{15} \div \frac{10}{21} \)
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
3 \frac{12}{15} = 3 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{19}{5}
\]
Now divide by \( \frac{10}{21} \), which is the same as multiplying by \( \frac{21}{10} \):
\[
\frac{19}{5} \div \frac{10}{21} = \frac{19}{5} \times \frac{21}{10} = \frac{399}{50}
\]
So, the result is \( \frac{399}{50} \), or 7.98.

### 3. \( 12 \frac{8}{9} \div \frac{11}{15} \)
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
12 \frac{8}{9} = \frac{116}{9}
\]
Now divide by \( \frac{11}{15} \), which is the same as multiplying by \( \frac{15}{11} \):
\[
\frac{116}{9} \div \frac{11}{15} = \frac{116}{9} \times \frac{15}{11} = \frac{1740}{99} = \frac{580}{33}
\]
So, the result is \( \frac{580}{33} \), or approximately 17.58.

### 4. \( 15 \frac{6}{7} \div \frac{3}{5} \)
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
15 \frac{6}{7} = \frac{111}{7}
\]
Now divide by \( \frac{3}{5} \), which is the same as multiplying by \( \frac{5}{3} \):
\[
\frac{111}{7} \div \frac{3}{5} = \frac{111}{7} \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{555}{21} = \frac{185}{7}
\]
So, the result is \( \frac{185}{7} \), or approximately 26.43.

### 5. \( 3 \frac{9}{10} \div 3 \)
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
3 \frac{9}{10} = \frac{39}{10}
\]
Now divide by 3, which is the same as multiplying by \( \frac{1}{3} \):
\[
\frac{39}{10} \div 3 = \frac{39}{10} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{39}{30} = \frac{13}{10}
\]
So, the result is \( \frac{13}{10} \), or 1.3.
