Answer 1

The correct option is A $1$

To solve,
$=\frac{4}{5}÷\frac{8}{10}$

Step 1: Simultaneously convert a second fraction into its reciprocal by changing a division sign to a multiplication sign.

$=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{10}{8}$

Step 2: Multiply the fractions (multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together)

$=\frac{4\times 10}{5\times 8}$

$=\frac{40}{40}$

$=1$
