Answer:


(5)/(14)

Explanation:

It's important to note here that fractions are just another way of representing division.

Therefore,
((1)/(4))/((7)/(10)) is the same thing as
(1)/(4) / (7)/(10).

To divide two fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal.


(1)/(4) \cdot (10)/(7)

We can now multiply the numerators and denominators.


1\cdot 10 = 10\\7 \cdot 4 = 28\\\\(10)/(28)

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.


10/ 2 = 5\\28 / 2 = 14

So,
(5)/(14).

Hope this helped!
