Problem
Calculate a fraction divided by a fraction and simplify.
Step-by-step solution
To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction: $\frac{5}{14} \div \frac{20}{7} = \frac{5}{14} \times \frac{7}{20} = \frac{35}{280}$. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, 35, to get $\frac{1}{8}$.
Answer
$\frac{1}{8}$
