The result of
\( (4)/(7) / (6)/(7) \) is \( (2)/(3) \). This is obtained by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.

To find
\( (4)/(7) / (6)/(7) \), you indeed multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. The reciprocal of
\( (6)/(7) \) is
\( (7)/(6) \).


\[ (4)/(7) / (6)/(7) = (4)/(7) * (7)/(6) \]

When you multiply the numerators (4 * 7), you get 28, and when you multiply the denominators (7 * 6), you get 42.


\[ (4)/(7) / (6)/(7) = (28)/(42) \]

Now, you can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 14.


\[ (28)/(42) = (2)/(3) \]

So, the result is
\( (2)/(3) \).

The complete question is:

Find 4/7 ÷ 6/7.
