4(3)/(5) ÷
2(1)/(2) =
(46)/(25)

To simplify the expression

(23)/(5) ÷
(5)/(2)

Invert the divisor (the second fraction).

Multiply the two fractions.

(23)/(5) ÷
(5)/(2) =
(23)/(5)*(5)/(2)

Now, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(23*2)/(5*5) =
(46)/(25)

So,
4(3)/(5) ÷
2(1)/(2) =
(46)/(25)
