Find the reciprocal of the divisor and proceed to multiplication

Explanation:

4/5 divided by 1/10

= 4/5 * 10/1

= 40/5

= 8

We can check this by converting the fractions into decimals:

4/5 = 0.8

1/10 = 0.1

0.8 divided by 0.1 = 8 and since we have the same result from two different methods, we can be sure that our 8 is the correct answer.
