Answer:

The reciprocal we use:
(5)/(3) ; Answer:
(5)/(24)

Explanation:

The reason why we use this reciprocal is because we are dividing 3/5 from 1/8, so we have to use the reciprocal of the divisor instead. Next, we multiply the numerators and denominators and we get the product of 5/24 and since we cannot simplify further, this is the final answer.

Hope this helps! :D
