to answer this write it out as follows:
8/5/5. To find the answer multiply 8/5 by the the reciprocal of 5. Since 5 = 5/1, then the reciprocal is 1/5.
so
8/5 * 1/5 = (8 * 1)/(5 * 5)
= 8/25. In a nutshell you flip 5/1 over and multiply it by 8/5.

8. Dividing by a fraction leads to multiplication. That would be (8* 5)/5 = 8. 5's cancel.

8/25
when dividing fractions you need to mulitply it to the reciprocal of its divisor.. in this case, the divisor is 5 or 5/1, its reciprocal is 1/5, so it is 8/5*1/5 which is equal to 8/25

first
8/5 times 5 inverse
so it's 8/5 times 1/5
so it's 8/25 when you multiply the bottom 5 together
and the answer is 0.32 or 8/25
IT"S not 5!!!

8/25 or 0.32 A calculator could've given you the answer just as easily.
And uhh... Steve B... it's only 8 if you're multiplying, not dividing.
