Answer 2

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

           Given data:-$\frac{4}{5} \div\frac{8}{10}.$

           To find:- Value of the expression.

           Solution:-

• Follow the steps to solve the above equation.

• Leave the first fraction alone.

• Now change the division sign into multiplication.

• Flip the second fraction.

• Now multiply the numerators.

• similarly, multiply denominators.

        Therefore,

          $\begin{array}{l}\frac{4}{5} \div \frac{8}{10} \\\\=\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{10}{8} \\\\=\frac{4 \times 10}{5 \times 8} \\\\=\frac{40}{40} \\\\=\frac{40 \div 40}{40 \div 40} \\\\=1\end{array}$

    Hence  we will get the value is $1.$
