Answer:

3/5

Explanation:

First we make both fractions into improper fractions/top-heavy fractions:

1 2/5 = 7/5

2 1/3 = 7/3

Now we use the rule of KFC (keep flip change):

Keep the first fraction:

7/5

Change the sign to opposite:

÷ → ×

Flip the second fraction:

7/3 → 3/7

Now we multiply the fractions:

7/5× 3/7 = 7×3/5×7 =

21/35

Now we simplify this fraction to simplest terms:

Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 7 :

3/5

So this is our final answer
