To divide fractions, you can multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.

So, to calculate $$ \frac{5}{8} \div \frac{1}{5} $$, you can rewrite it as:

$$
\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{5}{1}
$$

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

$$
\frac{5 \times 5}{8 \times 1} = \frac{25}{8}
$$

Thus,

$$
\frac{5}{8} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{25}{8}
$$
$$ \frac{5}{8} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{25}{8} $$
