1/3 div 4/5
is the same as saying 1/3 * 5/4
Invertin the second fraction and multiplying is how to solve division of fractions.
To do this in a claculator:
If your calculator has parenthesis, then
(1 divided by 3) x (5 divided by 4) =
If not, find the value of 1/3, and the value of 5/4, then multiply them together.

(1/3)
-------
(4/5)

is the same as

(1/3) * (5/4) i.e. change the / to a times and flip the denominator.

So the answer is (1*5)/(3*4) = 5/12

On the calculator, just type in ((1/3)/(4/5)) and hit Enter. Then, hit the math button, enter, and enter, and you should get the answer as a fraction :)
