Answer 2

`(15)/(4) /(5)/(8)`

In order to divide two fractions, you will need to use the KCF method.

Keep

Change

Flip

This means that we will keep the first fraction, change the division to multiplication, and flip the second fraction(reciprocal).

`(15)/(4) *(8)/(5)`

Multiply:

`(15)/(4) *(8)/(5)`

`(15*8)/(4*5)`

`=(120)/(20)`

Simplify:

`120/20`

`=\fbox{6}`
