SIMPLIFY: 1/3 divide by 5/3 plus 1/4 multiply by 3/5 minus 2/5 of 5/20

Lacking grouping symbols, the expression is unclear; I will guess that you mean the following:

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \frac{\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}{\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)}\, +\, \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\, -\, \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(\frac{5}{20}\right)\)

On which part are you stuck? Please be complete. Thank you!

You didn't believe me, did you? I told you privately that you needed more grouping symbols. Please provide them.
