#5/21#

You could first multiply the numerators:

#4 xx 10 = 40#

then the denominators:

#14 xx 12 = 168#

Now you have

#4/14 xx 10/12 = 40/168#

You could simplify that by dividing both sides by #4#.

#40/4 = 10#

#168/4 = 42#

So

#40/168 = 10/42#

Then simplify that more

#10/2 = 5#

#42/2 = 21#

Your final answer is

#5/21#
