Answer 1

Answer:   1/4

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's say this school has 1000 students.

5/8 of that amount is (5/8)*1000 = 625. There are 625 students who play sports.

Then we take 2/5 of this to get (2/5)*625 = 250 to represent the number of people who play soccer.

The last step is to divide that result over the original number of students. Reduce as much as possible.

250/1000 = 25/100 = 1/4

Therefore, 1/4 of all the students play soccer
