Answer 2

Hello There!

Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying fractions but one additional step is needed.

You want to switch the numerator and the denominator on the second fraction. In this case,
`(2)/(3)` ÷
`(5)/(6)`, you would leave 2/3 alone but for 5/6, 6 would act as the numerator and 5 would act as the denominator.

Finally, you would multiply across we we get 12/15 and when we simplify, we will get an answer of 4/5
