when you divide 2 fractions together for e.g your question:
1/5 divided by 1/4
1. firstly swap the denominator and the numarator around of the second fraction, which will leave you like this as shown below.
1/5 divided by 4/1
2. secondly you then reverse the sign for e.g, if it was divide, you change it to a multilication sign, which will lokk like this:
1/5 * 4/1
3. now you know that multiplieing fractions is the easiest part of step and finally this is what you get after multiplieing the two fractions together:
1/5 * 4/1= 4/5
there you go hope this answers to your question.

Get the reciprocal of 1/4 which is 4/1 and instead of dividing multiply it with 1/5
1/5*4/1=4/5

1/5 divided by 1/4 is equivalent to
1/5 X 4/1 = 4/5
when dividing fractions you just have to invert the second fraction and multiply it
