well you cannot divide fractions.
What you can do however, is to invert the second fraction and the multiply. This is equivalent to saying:
6/2 = 3
and
6* (1/2) = 3
are the same thing.
so 7(1/8) --> 57/8
and 5(3/5) --> 28/5
--> 57/8 * 5/28
nothing cancels down, so just have to multiply the numbers as they are, to give 285/224.
