Hi there! To divide fractions, you keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the fraction over, which is the reciprocal. The reciprocal is basically what the number will be flipped over. In this case, 5/3 will turn into 3/5. Now, we multiply straight across. 4/3 * 3/5 is 12/15 or 4/5 in simplest form. The quotient of that problem is 4/5.

4/3 ÷ 5/3

4/3 × 3/5 use this rule; a ÷ b/c = a × c/b

4 × 3/ 3 × 5

12/15

4/15 simplify. or decimal form; 0.8

hope this helps, God bless!
