Take it like any fractions you would multiply.

Multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. First, you multiply the coefficients. In this case, an understood 1 in the first fraction times the 5 in the second fraction produces 5. Then you multiply the variables. So our numerator is
Now we multiply the denominators. Coefficients first. 5 in the first denominator, and 1 in the second. Our coefficient part is 5. Then, the variables. Our denominator is
Finally, we have our fraction.
Now we can cancel. The five and the five cancel each each other out, as do the 's, and we can cross out the from the bottom and simplify the top to only . We are left with , or . I hope this helped.
