Answer:

2:5

Explanation:

2/3:5/3 is a ratio. Because of that, if we multiply both sides by the same amount, the ratio remains the same, like how you can multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same amount to get the same value. 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6...

Fractions are usually not preferable in ratios. In this case, if we multiply both sides by 3, we get 2:5. Since you can't divide both sides by the same amount without getting a fraction, this means the ratio is now simplified, making 2:5 your final answer.

Hope this helps!
