8/5
Fractions can have the same denominator, like 1/5 and 3/5. Or fractions can have different denominators, such as 1/5 and 3/8. So the whole thing can be divided in however many pieces.
When dividing fractions, multiply by the inverse of the fraction.That is, a/b divided by x/y = a/b times y/x = ay/bxFor example,2/5 divided by 3 = 2/5 x 1/3 = 2/152/5 divided by 1/3 = 2/5 x 3/1 = 6/55 divided by 3 = 5/1 x 1/3 = 5/35 divided by 1/3 = 5/1 x 3/1 = 15/1 (= 15)

In order to divide fractions there is a method called the "Kiss and Flip". Basically, two fractions divided by one another is the same thing as one fraction multiplied by the inverse of the second....A) 1/5 / 1/4 (these are your two fractions)B) 1/5 / 1/4 (the fractions "Kiss" a.k.a. come together)C) 1/5 X 4/1 (and the second fraction "flips". When the second fraction flips the division sign becomes a multiplication sign)D) 1/5 x 4/1 = 4/5 (at this point you multiply the numerators straight across and then the denominators. This is your answer!)
