Answer 2

`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Simplify the complex fraction
`(5)/(6)` over
`1(1)/(4)`

We will rewrite the fraction

`((5)/(6))/((5)/(4))`

or
`(5)/(6)` ÷
`(5)/(4)`

To solve this fraction we will flip the second fraction and put the sign of multiplication.

=
`(5)/(6)` ×

`(20)/(30)`

=
`(2)/(3)`

Answer would be
`(2)/(3)`.
