Hello!

Let's solve:


\text{Write down the equation}\\(6(2)/(3) )/((1)/(5) ) \\\\\\\text{Convert the nominator, a mixed partial fraction to an improper fraction}\\((20)/(3) )/((1)/(5) ) \\\\\\\text{When dividing by a fraction, flip the fraction over and multiply its reciprocal}\\(20)/(3) *(5)/(1) = (100)/(3) \\\\\\\text{Convert the improper fraction back mixed partial fraction}\\(100)/(3) =33(1)/(3)

Answer:
(100)/(3) \text{ or }33(1)/(3)

Hope that helps!
