Answer 2

first off, let's make the mixed fractions to "improper", and proceed from there,


`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2(1)/(3)}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{3}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{\quad(7)/(3) \quad }{(2)/(5)}\implies \cfrac{7}{3}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\implies \cfrac{35}{6}\implies 5(5)/(6)`
