You invert the second fraction (that means, turn it upside-down) and multiply (change the division to a multiplication):

That's easy, right? Just be sure it's the second fraction you invert, and not the first!

Note: in Algebra and higher, we don't use the x sign any more. We just use fraction bars. Instead of writing 5 / 3, we write:

5/3

So, when you see something that looks like this:

(7/8)/(3/5)

It's really a division problem in disguise!

Fractions like that, which have fractions inside them, are called compound fractions. (No, not "compound fractures"!!!) These compound fractions aren't mysterious. They're just divisions.
