Answer:


\boxed{\boxed{\sf (5)/(4) \:\: or\:\: 1.25}}

Explanation:


\sf \cfrac{10}{14}/ \cfrac{4}{7}

Apply fraction rule:


\boxed{\sf (a)/(b)/ (c)/(d)=(a)/(b)* (d)/(c)}


\longmapsto\sf \cfrac{10}{14}* \cfrac{7}{4}


\longmapsto\sf \cfrac{10}{14}

Factor numbers:


\longmapsto\sf \cfrac{2\cdot \:5}{2\cdot \:7}

Cancel comment factor: 2


\longmapsto\sf \cfrac{5}{4}

____________


\longmapsto\sf \cfrac{5}{7}* \cfrac{7}{4}

Cross:

Cancel 7:


\longmapsto\sf \cfrac{5}{4}

or


\longmapsto\sf 1.25
