Convert to the same units, then the fraction can be simplified:
£1 = 100p
→ 40p/£1 = 40p/100p = 40/100 = 2/5
It is 0.4
5 pounds/ 1 pound = 5/1 in fraction
40p/100p = 2/5 in fraction
It is 5/40, which can be simplified, if required.
Write as 40/100 then simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 20 to give 2/5 Therefore 40p is 2/5 of £1 (100p).

£1.00 = 100p ⇒ 40p as a fraction of £1.00 is 40p/100p = 2/5= 12
5 pounds/ 1 pound = 5/1 in fraction
40p/100p = 2/5 in fraction
That's 40p times 5.2 (£0.40) which £2.08 208p
40p per kilo is cheaper, here is why, spend 40p on a kilo, 1 kilo = 2.2 pounds, so 40p would get you 2.2 pounds, that works out at just under 20p per pound.
