Answer:

25/12

Explanation:

when dividing a fraction, you flip the divisor, so the 3/5 will become 5/3

when you flip the divisor, you flip the sign too, the sign right now is ÷

the opposite of ÷ is ×

so now you have 5/4 × 5/3

multiply the numerators: 5 x 5 = 25

multiply the denominators: 4 x 3 = 12

so now you have 25/12

this fraction cannot be simplified, so 25/12 is your answer
