To divide fractions, simply take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply instead. So, (5/8)/(15/16) becomes
5/8 x 16/15
= 80/120
= 2/3

When you divide fractions flip the bottom fraction and then multiply that by the top fraction.
(5/8) / (15/16) = (5/8) * (16/15)...did you catch the switch from / to *?
Then, when you multiply two fractions -- put the product of the top numbers over the product of the bottom numbers.
(5 * 16) / (8 * 15) = 2 / 3

I'm going to say two thirds. Everyone else got it. All of them can't be wrong . . . Unless the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th guy all copied the 1st guy's answer. Now, would they do that?
