Answer:

The correct answer is 25/32

Explanation:

Let's recall that the division of two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the inverse or reciprocal of the second fraction. We get the reciprocal of a fraction by interchanging its numerator and denominator.

Upon saying that, we have:

5/8 ÷ 4/5 =

5/8 * 5/4 = (We use the inverse and not it is a multiplication)

25/32

The correct answer is 25/32
