Answer:


(15)/(16)

Explanation:

We will use the rule of KCF (Keep, Change, Flip) to solve a problem where a fraction divides by a fraction. We will start out with our original expression:


(5)/(8) / (2)/(3)

Then, we will keep the first number, change the division sign to multiplication, and flip the last fraction, giving us:


(5)/(8) * (3)/(2)

Then, you multiply the numerators and denominators, giving you:


(15)/(16)

Then, you cannot simplify further. So, your answer is
(15)/(16).

Hope this helped!
