(4/9)/(2/3)/(5/6)

First, invert and multiply. / Your problem should look like:
(4)/(9) \\ (2)/(3) ×
(6)/(5)
Second, invert and multiply. / Your problem should look like:
(4)/(9) ×
(3)/(2) ×
(6)/(5)
Third, apply this rule:
(a)/(b) ×
(c)/(d) . / Your problem should look like:
(4 x 3 x 6)/(9 x 2 x 5)
Fourth, simplify 4 × 3 × 6 to 72. / Your problem should look like:
(72)/(9x2x5)
Fifth, simplify 9 × 2 × 5 to 90. / Your problem should look like:
(72)/(90)
Sixth, simplify. / Your problem should look like:
(4)/(5)

Original answer:
