Answer:


(3)/(4)

Explanation:

Given the following question:


2(7)/(8) /3(5)/(6)

To find the answer we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions, then we apply KCF (Keep, Change, Flip) to the equation and then we solve.


2(7)/(8) /3(5)/(6)

2(7)/(8) =8*2=16+7=23=(23)/(8)

3(5)/(6) =6*3=18+5=23=(23)/(6)

(28)/(8) /(23)/(6)

Apply KCF:

(28)/(8) /(23)/(6)

(28)/(8) *(6)/(23)

28*6=168

8*23=184

=(168)/(184)

Simplify by reducing:

(168)/(184)

=(168)/(184)/46=(3)/(4)

=(3)/(4)

Your answer is "3/4."

Hope this helps.
