The fraction is already in simplest form.

Explanation:

To try to simplify it, we can prime factorize both the numerator and the denominator to see if there is a common factor we can cancel:
#8/27=(2*2*2)/(3*3*3)=2^3/3^3#

We see that there are no common factors on the numerator and the denominator, so the fraction must be in simplest form.

The numerator is also smaller than the denominator, so we can't convert it to mixed form.
