5/4 divided by 1/3
First you flip the second fraction.
so its now 5/4 divided by 3/1
then you cross multiply
so 5 times 3 = 15 and 4 times 1 = 4
which means the fraction is 15/4 (or 3 3/4 in simplest form)

The answer is !5/ 4 because when dividing a fraction by a fraction you multiply the first fraction by the second fractions reciprocal.
