Answer:

(2 1/3) : (4/5) = 35 /12 = 2 11 /12

1. You convert the mixed number (2 1/3) into an improper fraction which is 7/3.

2.Then you find a new numerator so you multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3) which is 6.

3 Add the answer (6) to the starting numerator (1). The new numerator equation: 6+1=7.

4.Write the new numerator (7) over the denominator (3)

Two and one seven third is seven thirds.

5. Then you divide: 7/3 : 4/5 = 7/3 * 5/4 = 7*5/ 3*4

6. Multiply (7 and 5) and (3 and 4) which gives you 35/12.

7.Then you transform it back into a mixed number by dividing 35/12 which gives you 2 11/12.
