Q. Simplify. Write your answer as a proper or improper fraction in simplest form. \newline5858=\frac{\frac{5}{8}} {\frac{5}{8}}=\frac{\Box}{\Box}
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to simplify the expression (58)/(58)\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)/\left(\frac{5}{8}\right). This is a division of two identical fractions.
  2. Apply division rule: Apply the rule for dividing fractions.\newlineTo divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.\newline58\frac{5}{8} ÷\div 58\frac{5}{8} = 58\frac{5}{8} ×\times 85\frac{8}{5}
  3. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and denominators.\newline(5×8)/(8×5)=40/40(5 \times 8) / (8 \times 5) = 40 / 40
  4. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction.\newlineSince the numerator and the denominator are the same, the fraction simplifies to 11.\newline40/40=140 / 40 = 1
