5/x divide by 40/x '

Remember for division of fractions, 'Invert the right hand fraction and proceed as for multiolication. '

Hence

5/x X x/40

Cancel down by 'x'

Hence

5/1 X 1/40

Cancel down by '5'

1/1 X 1/8

1/1 is trivil , so the answer is 1/8 ; in decimal it is 0.125

(5/x) / (40/x) = (5/x) (x/40) = (5x) / (40x) = 1/8

This result is true regardless of what 'x' may be.
