Answer:

Option d is correct.


(5)/(6) of the bag of cheese will Gordon use to make the entire recipe.

Explanation:

As per the given condition: Gordon makes 4/5 of a recipe with 2/3 bag of cheese.

⇒ Gordon makes
(4)/(5) recipe

with
(2)/(3) bag of cheese used.

Since the question asks to find what fraction of bag of cheese use to make entire recipe, this implies division.

then,


(2)/(3)/ (4)/(5)


(2)/(3) * (5)/(4) = (5)/(6)

therefore,
(5)/(6) of the bag of cheese will Gordon use to make the entire recipe.
