(1(1/5)) / (3/4)1(1/5) = 6/5therefore the question is(6/5) / (3/4)To divide a fraction, you simply swap the position of the numerator and denominator in the latter part of the example, and multiple the fractions instead, following the method of top * top and bottom * bottom. You can then simply down to the lowest form.(6/5) * (4/3)64 = 2453 = 1524/15 = 8/5 when simplified
