Answer: C. 5/2

Step-by-step explanation: So to multiply fractions you need to multiply the reciprocal. Here let me show you.

5 1

_ ÷_

8 4

To solve this, you need to 'flip the fraction'. the output would be the reciprocal. you 'flip the second fraction'. In this case it would be 1/4.

so the reciprocal of 1/4 would be 4

_

1

See what i did there?

Now put 4/1 and put that to replace 1/4.

5 4

_ x _

8 1

Once you have done that you can actually transform the division symbol and replace it with a multiply symbol! I already did this. Now just multiply

Remember top to bottom left to right.

5 x 4 = 20

_ _ _

8 x 1 = 8

It would be 20/8. if you simplify this you would get 5/2.

Hope this helps!

:)
