6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the expression, we apply the KCF: Keep the first fraction, Change the sign to multiplication and then flipping the second fraction


\begin{gathered} \text{flip 2/3 = 3/2} \\ (4)/(5)*(3)/(2) \end{gathered}

Then we simplify:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(5)*(3)/(2)=(12)/(10) \\ 2\text{ is common to the numerator and denominator} \\ =\text{ }(12)/(10)\text{ =}(2*6)/(2*5) \\ =\text{ 6/5} \end{gathered}
