To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
The product of (4/5) and (5/8) is (4*5)/(5*8).
Multiplying the numerators, we get 4*5 = 20.
Multiplying the denominators, we get 5*8 = 40.
Therefore, (4/5) times (5/8) simplifies to 20/40.
To simplify this fraction further, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 20.
Dividing 20/20, we get 1 as the numerator and 40/20, which simplifies to 2, as the denominator.
So, the answer is 1/2.
