If the expression is %285%2F3%29%286%29%2B8, then %285%2F3%29%286%29%2B8=%285%2A6%29%2F3%2B8=30%2F3%2B8=10%2B8=18


On the other hand, if the expression is 5%2F%283%286%29%29%2B8, then 5%2F%283%286%29%29%2B8=5%2F18%2B8=149%2F18


Or if the expression is 5%2F%283%286%29%2B8%29, then 5%2F%283%286%29%2B8%29=5%2F%2818%2B8%29=5%2F26

The answer will depend on the grouping of the terms.
