    So when you divide fractions, you keep the first fraction (in this case 5/8) then change the sign from divide to multiply, then flip the second fraction (we’ll use 1/16 first)

    So 5/8 times 16/1. 80/8. Simply to 10.

    Now do the same with 5/8 and 1/32

    5/8 times 32/1. 160/8. Simplify to 20.

    So I good prediction would be 1/32 since you have to flip the divisor and multiply.
