Answer:

3 2/3

Explanation:

2 1/5 ÷ 3/5

Convert 2 1/5 to an improper fraction

2 1/5 -- > 5 × 2 + 1 = 11/5

= 11/5 ÷ 3/5

Change the operator to multiplication

= 11/5 × 5/3

Cross multiply

= 11/3

Convert improper fraction to a mixed number

= 3 2/3

if you make 2 1/5 a improper fraction it would be 6/5

6/5÷3/5 is easy because 6÷3=2

the answer is 2.
