Formula used:

Perform the operations following the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS).

Calculation:

\(\frac{\frac{5}{8}\times 2\frac{2}{5}-\frac{5}{4}}{1\frac{1}{4}}\) = ?

2\(\frac{2}{5}\) = (2×5 + 2)/5 = 12/5

1\(\frac{1}{4}\) = (1×4 + 1)/4 = 5/4

Now, substitute these into the expression:

\(\frac{\frac{5}{8}\times \frac{12}{5}-\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}\) = \(\frac{\frac{5\times 12}{8\times 5}-\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}\) = \(\frac{\frac{60}{40}-\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}\)

⇒ \(\frac{\frac{3}{2}-\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}\) = \(\frac{\frac{6}{4}-\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}\) = \(\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}}\) =\(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

The answer is 1/5
