Answer:

C) 2/5×1/4

Explanation:

Dividing by a number is the same by multiplying by the reciprocal of the number.

For Example:

1/2 divided by 3 would be the same as 1/2 x 1/3

So for this problem we are given that 2/5 is divided by 4 which would be the same as 2/5 multiplied by the reciprocal of 4 which is 1/4 and thus the answer is option C which is 2/5×1/4
