Answer: 1/4
=================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say this school has 1000 students.
5/8 of that amount is (5/8)*1000 = 625. There are 625 students who play sports.
Then we take 2/5 of this to get (2/5)*625 = 250 to represent the number of people who play soccer.
The last step is to divide that result over the original number of students. Reduce as much as possible.
250/1000 = 25/100 = 1/4
Therefore, 1/4 of all the students play soccer
