Answer 2

Answer: 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, you can use the "keep, change, flip" method.

1. Keep the first fraction as-is (2/5)

2. Change the division sign to a multiplication sign

3. Flip the second fraction (i.e. find the reciprocal). In this case, 4/1 becomes 1/4.

Plug in the Values:

2/5 x 1/4

Multiply the numerators and the denominators together, respectively.

2/20

Simplify by dividing by the GCF.

1/10
