Answer:


3(1)/(3)

Explanation:

Dividing fractions is like multiplying the reciprocal of the second number

For example:
(36)/(3) divided by
(24)/(6)

Multiply the reciprocal, which is 6/24


(36)/(3) * (6)/(24) , Find divisible diagonal factors. Divide by 3 diagonally and divide by 12 diagonally


(3)/(1) * (2)/(2) = 3

You can check by making 36/3 to 12 and 24/6 to 4.

12/4 = 3

In the same way:


(4)/(3) /(2)/(5) = (4)/(3) * (5)/(2) =

Divide by 2 diagonally


(2)/(3) * (5)/(1) =(10)/(3) = 3(1)/(3)

The answer is
3(1)/(3)

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!
