Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

It might make the problem easier to understand if we were to rewrite it as:

2

----

3

======

4

----

5

In this expression, we're dividing by a fraction, the fraction 4/5. We can get the same result by inverting this divisor fraction, 4/5, and then multiplying 2/3 by 5/4:

5 2

----- * -----

4 3

This reduces to

5 1

----- * ----- = 5/6

2 3
