Answer:

6/31

Explanation:

4 1/3 divided by 5 1/6

Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions

4 1/3 = (3*4+1)/3 =13/3

5 1/6 = (6*5+1)/6 =31/6

13/3 ÷ 31/6

Copy dot flip

13/3 * 6/31

13*2/31

26/31

The question is asking what fraction should we end up multiplying by(the flip fraction)

That is 6/31
