    So here we just want to divide 7/8 by 1/5, to find how many 1/5, or hours, fit into 7/8.

    To divide, you just want to reverse the second fraction and then multiply.

    1/5 reversed is 5/1.

    7/8 * 5/1 = 35/8

    35/8 converted to a mixed number would be 4 3/8.

    So it would take 4 3/8 hours for the entire pot of water to evaporate.
