1. **State the problem:** Find the quotient of $$\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{5}{4}$$ and simplify the answer completely.
2. **Recall the rule for dividing fractions:** To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.
3. **Apply the rule:**
$$\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{5}{4} = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{4}{5}$$
4. **Multiply the numerators and denominators:**
$$\frac{7 \times 4}{8 \times 5} = \frac{28}{40}$$
5. **Simplify the fraction:** Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 28 and 40, which is 4.
6. **Divide numerator and denominator by 4:**
$$\frac{\cancel{28}^{7}}{\cancel{40}^{10}} = \frac{7}{10}$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$\frac{7}{10}$$
