To multiply fractions you follow the next formula:
[tex]\frac{a}{b}\cdot\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\cdot c}{b\cdot d}[/tex]To divide fraction you follow next formula:
[tex]\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a\cdot d}{b\cdot c}[/tex]You have:
[tex]\frac{5(\frac{5}{8})}{2(\frac{1}{4})}[/tex]First you multiply:
[tex]\frac{\frac{25}{8}}{\frac{2}{4}}[/tex]And then you divide:
[tex]\frac{100}{16}[/tex]You simplify:
[tex]\frac{100}{16}=\frac{50}{8}=\frac{25}{4}[/tex]The solution is 25/4
