Answer:

23/63

Explanation:

1 and 2/3 can also be writen as 5/3

4 and 1/5 can also be written as 21/5

5/3 divided by 21/5 can be rewritten as 5/3 multiplied by 5/21

multiply the numerators (top numbers) for the numerator of the answer

5 x 5 = 25

multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) for the denominator of the answer

3 x 21 = 63

put the numerator and denominator together as the fraction 25/63

25 and 63 share no common factors, so the fraction cannot be further simplified
