Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

Dividing fractions:

Step 1: Rewrite the first fraction as it is.

Step 2: Replace the division sign with a multiplication sign.

Step 3: Flip the second fraction.

Step 4: Multiply the fractions and reduce the product if necessary.

Let's use the rule of dividing fractions on your problem.

Step 1: Rewrite the first fraction as it is.


(5)/(8)

Step 2: Replace the division sign with a multiplication sign.


(5)/(8) *

Step 3: Flip the second fraction.


(5)/(8) * (4)/(3)

Step 4: Multiply the fractions and reduce the product if necessary.

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together, and multiply the denominators together.


(5)/(8) * (4)/(3) = (5 * 4)/(8 * 3) = (20)/(24)

We notice that the greatest common factor of 20 and 24 is 4, so we divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to reduce the fraction.


= (4 * 5)/(4 * 6) = (5)/(6)
