(4/5) / (1/2)
*The rule is - you can't divide fractions >
First: multiply the 1st fraction by the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction (flip the fraction - 1/2 becomes 2/1) ...
(4/5)(2/1)
Sec: multiply the numerators and denominators...
(4*2)/(5*1)
8/5

Dividing something by one half is the same as multiplying it by 2.
So 4 / 5 x 2 = 8 / 5 = 1 and 3 /5 . One and Three Fifths

eight fifths
when dividing by a fraction, you multiply by the inverse of the fraction. The inverse of 1/2 is 2/1. Therefore 4/5*2/1 = 8/5
