Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the term keep change flip. We use this term when we divide fractions.

First, keep the 5/24.

Next, change the division into multiplication.

Finally, flip the 5/6 so it becomes 6/5.

Your equation now looks like this:

5/24x6/5.

Multiply across, 5x6 and 24x5

5x6=30

24x5=120

30/120

Now, simplify.

You can divide 30 by 30 to get 1, and you can divide 120 by 30 to get 4.

The answer is 1/4.

Hope this helps! :D
