Answer:

The answer is 16/15 or 1 1/15.

Explanation:

First, you have to multiply it by converting the second fraction upside down:


(8)/(6) / (5)/(4)


= (8)/(6) * (4)/(5)

Next, you have to cut out the common terms and multiply all:


(8)/(6) * (4)/(5)


= (8)/(3) * (2)/(5)


= (16)/(15) \: \: or \: \: 1 (1)/(15)
