1. **Problem statement:** The product of two fractions is $\frac{4}{25}$. The quotient of the larger fraction divided by the smaller fraction is 4. Find the two fractions.
2. **Set variables:** Let the smaller fraction be $x$ and the larger fraction be $y$.
3. **Write equations:**
- Product: $$xy = \frac{4}{25}$$
- Quotient: $$\frac{y}{x} = 4$$
4. **Express $y$ in terms of $x$:**
$$y = 4x$$
5. **Substitute into product equation:**
$$x \times 4x = \frac{4}{25}$$
$$4x^2 = \frac{4}{25}$$
6. **Divide both sides by 4:**
$$\cancel{4}x^2 = \frac{4}{25} \div \cancel{4}$$
$$x^2 = \frac{1}{25}$$
7. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \pm \frac{1}{5}$$
Since $x$ is a fraction and smaller, take positive value:
$$x = \frac{1}{5}$$
8. **Find $y$:**
$$y = 4x = 4 \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$$
9. **Answer:** The two fractions are $\frac{1}{5}$ and $\frac{4}{5}$.
