Answer:

6³/₁₀

Explanation:

Number of bits = Total amount/Size of each bit

= (4⅕)/(⅔)

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

No. = (²¹/₅)/(⅔)

Invert the denominator and change division to multiplication

No. = ²¹/₅ × ³/₂

Multiply numerators and denominators.

No. = ⁶³/₁₀

Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number.

No. = 6³/₁₀

It takes 6³/₁₀ ⅔s to make up 4⅕.
