The expression you provided is:

\[
\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{1}{2}}
\]

To solve this, follow these steps:

1. Invert the second fraction (since division by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal):
\[
\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{1}
\]

2. Multiply the numerators and denominators:
\[
\frac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 1} = \frac{4}{5}
\]

So, the result is:

\[
\frac{4}{5}
\]
