Answer:

2/3 divided by 4/5 = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Arianna working:

2/3 divided by 4/5

= 2/3 x 4/5

= 8/15

Correct working:

2/3 divided by 4/5

= 2/3 ÷ 4/5

Multiply 2/3 by the reciprocal of 4/5

= 2/3 × 5/4

= (2*5) / (3*4)

= 10/12

= 5/6

2/3 divided by 4/5 = 5/6

Arianna's mistake was she didn't multiply by the reciprocal of 4/5
