To simplify the expression \((1/4) \times (3/5) / 1 (1/8)\), it's important to break it down step by step.

First, clarify the operations involved in the expression. The part \(1(1/8)\) implies multiplication; thus, it simplifies to just \((1/8)\). Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as:

\[

\frac{(1/4) \times (3/5)}{(1/8)}

\]

Next, perform the multiplication in the numerator:

\[

(1/4) \times (3/5) = \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 5} = \frac{3}{20}

\]

Now, we simplify the expression further by dividing \(\frac{3}{20}\) by \(\frac{1}{8}\). Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal:

\[

\frac{3}{20} \div \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{20} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{3 \times 8}{20 \times 1} = \frac
