1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the expression 32÷54\frac{3}{2} \div \frac{5}{4}.

2. Solution Steps

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of 54\frac{5}{4} is 45\frac{4}{5}.
Therefore, we have
32÷54=32×45\frac{3}{2} \div \frac{5}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{4}{5}.
Now, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
32×45=3×42×5=1210\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{3 \times 4}{2 \times 5} = \frac{12}{10}.
We can simplify the fraction 1210\frac{12}{10} by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is

2. $\frac{12}{10} = \frac{12 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{6}{5}$.

3. Final Answer

65\frac{6}{5}
