Solve and simplify.

1/2 ÷ 5/8

To solve this, we apply the KCF rule.

1. Keep the first fraction.

1/2

2. Change the sign from division to multiplication.

1/2 ×

3. Flip the fraction.

1/2 × 8/5

Now, we multiply across.

1*8 = 8
5*2 = 10

8/10

Simplify 8/10

8 ÷ 2 = 4
10 ÷ 2 = 5

4/5

Final answer: 4/5
