When you're dividing fractions, you've got to slip the second fraction then multiply them together. Once you've flipped it, you get
5/6 x 7/3
You then simply multiply the numerators and the denominators
5x7= 35
6x3= 18
Therefore, this becomes 35/18, which can be simplified to 1 17/18
Hope this helps :)
