The problem shown in your image asks to divide two fractions:

\[
\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{4}{5}
\]

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction. So, the expression becomes:

\[
\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{4}
\]

Multiplying these fractions:

\[
\frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 4} = \frac{5}{12}
\]

Thus, the answer in its simplest form is:

\[
\frac{5}{12}
\]

The correct choice from the options is **5/12**.
