First we need to make these two numbers into improper fractions

1
(5)/(7) =
(12)/(7)

4
(2)/(7) =
(30)/(7)

Now on the next step,

To divide a fraction by another fraction, we must flip the second number upside down.... watch


(12)/(7) ÷
(7)/(30) = then we change the divide ( ÷ ) sign to a multiplication ( × )


(12)/(7) ×
(7)/(30) =
(84)/(210)

simplify


(84)/(210)
(12)/(30)
