So if you want it as a simplified fraction, when dividing fractions you use the rule:

1) keep the first fraction the same so 4/9,
2) change the divide to a multiply, 4/9 x
3) flip 8/15 to become 15/8

Then your final question will look like this:

4/9 x 15/8

Then you do 4x15 (numerator multiplied by numerator) to get 60 on the top

Then do 9x8 which is 72

So your answer is 60/72
But, this is not simplified, there is a common factor of 12 in both the numerator and denominator.

So you divide 60 by 12 and get 5
Then divide 72 by 12 and get 6

Therefore, your final answer is 5/6. Hope that helps :)
