1) invert (flip) the second fraction:
The numbers become
3/5 and 25/3
2) multiply across:
3x25/5x3
75/15
Both of those numbers are divisible by fifteen, so divide by fifteen here
5/1, or just 5.

3/5 divided by 3/25 > to change to multiplication, invert the second and make it 3/5 times 25/3. then you reduce the fractions (the 5 and 25) and make it 3/1 times 5/3 which equals 15/3. That then reduces down to your answer. FIVE
