Answer 2

Answer:
`(4)/(3)` or about 1.333

Explanation:

We will use the "keep, change, flip" method to solve. Keep the first number the same, change the division to multiplication, and flip the second number so we have the reciprocal.

`\displaystyle ((5)/(8) )/((15)/(32) ) \,\,\,\,\text{ becomes } \,\,\,\,(5)/(8) *(32)/(15) =(5*32)/(8*15) =(160)/(120) =(4)/(3)`
