Answers
GPT 3.5
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
First, find the reciprocal of the second fraction by swapping the numerator and the denominator:
Reciprocal of 5/8 = 8/5.
Now multiply the first fraction with the reciprocal of the second fraction:
1/4 * 8/5 = (1 * 8)/(4 * 5) = 8/20 = 2/5.
So, 1/4 divided by 5/8 is equal to 2/5.

Sure, let's double-check the solution:
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 5/8 is 8/5.
Now, multiply 1/4 by 8/5:
(1/4) * (8/5) = (1 * 8) / (4 * 5) = 8/20.
To simplify, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
8/20 simplifies to 2/5.
Therefore, after double-checking, we can confirm that 1/4 divided by 5/8 is indeed equal to 2/5.
