To simplify the given expression:

\[
\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{5}{4}
\]

We multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\[
\frac{4 \times 5}{7 \times 4} = \frac{20}{28}
\]

Now, simplify \(\frac{20}{28}\) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 20 and 28, which is 4. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:

\[
\frac{20 \div 4}{28 \div 4} = \frac{5}{7}
\]

So, the simplified answer is:

\[
\frac{5}{7}
\]
