Answer:

yes

Explanation:

remember how to do fraction operations :

a/b / c/d = a×d / b×c

that is why you can also say it is the same as the multiplication with the upside-down fraction

a/b / c/d = a/b × d/c = a×d / b×c

in your case here

4/5 / 1/3 = 4/5 × 3/1 = 12/5

and that is definitely greater than 1.
