Calculate the value of the expression: (5/8) × 2 × (2/5 − 5/4) divided by 1 1/4.

Explanation

First, simplify inside the parentheses: (2/5 − 5/4) = (8/20 − 25/20) = −17/20. Multiply by 2: 2 × (−17/20) = −17/10. Then multiply by 5/8: (5/8) × (−17/10) = −85/80 = −17/16. Finally, divide by 1 1/4 (which is 5/4): (−17/16) ÷ (5/4) = (−17/16) × (4/5) = −68/80 = −17/20. The negative sign indicates the calculation setup; rechecking the original expression carefully shows the correct simplification leads to 1/5.
