To divide fractions by other fractions, the right fraction must be flipped.
Then you multiply,

(11)/(3) x (6)/(5)
11 × 6 = 66 (numerator)
3 × 5 = 15 (denominator)
So now you would have

(66)/(15)
You can simplify this if you'd like by finding a common multiple,
The common multiple is 3
Divide the top and bottom of the fraction by 3 to get the simplest form of it.
Your final answer is

(22)/(3)
