    Divide 4/5 by 2/3 by using the rules for dividing fractions.

    I inverted the 2/3, since multiplying by the reciprocal is the equivalent to division

    Separately multiplied the numerators (3 & 4) and the denominators (2 & 5)

    Then factored the results to simplify the resulting fraction (hint: there are multiples of two on both lines of the fraction)
