Explanation:


2(2)/(3)/ (2)/(3)


\mathrm{convert\;mixed\;numbers\;to\;improper\;fractions:2(2)/(3)=(8)/(3)}


=(8)/(3)/ (2)/(3)


\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad (a)/(b)/ (c)/(d)=(a)/(b)* (d)/(c)


=(8)/(3)* (3)/(2)


\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad (a)/(b)* (c)/(d)=(a\:* \:c)/(b\:* \:d)


=(8* \:3)/(3* \:2)
