Answer:
[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Key skills needed --> Division of fractions, Multiplication of fractions
1) 2/4 over 5/8 is the same thing as division ---> [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{8}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
2) Dividing by a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by its reciprocal.
Basically if you are dividing by [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex], you are multiplying by [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]. A reciprocal is when the fraction's numerator becomes the denominator, and the fraction's denominator becomes the numerator. [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] --> reciprocal is [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] (or 2)
Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D
