In division with fractions, you flip the sign to multiplication and multiply it by the reciprocal. So, you do

1/1/5 (the / after the one means division because I don't have the sign in my keyboard)

1 * 1/5 (* means multiplication)

1/1 * 5/1

Then solve.

1/1*5/1= 5/1=5

So, 1 divided by 1/5 is 5.
