The expression in the image is \( 3 \times \frac{8}{5} \).

Let's simplify this:

\[
3 \times \frac{8}{5} = \frac{3 \times 8}{5} = \frac{24}{5}
\]

Thus, \( 3 \times \frac{8}{5} = \frac{24}{5} \), which is the simplified result.

If you'd like to express it as a mixed number:
\[
\frac{24}{5} = 4 \frac{4}{5}
\]
