    You multiply both sides by the reciprocal (flip fraction)

    1/8--->8/1=8

    So now multiply both sides by 8

    1/8*8=0 (cancels out)

    x=5*8

    x=40

    1/8x = 5

    1/8x = 5/1

    Take reciprocal of both sides

    8x/1 = 1/5

    8x = 1/5 Divide both sides by 8

    x = 1/5 : 8

    x = 1/5 * 1/8

    x = 1/40
