\[\frac{\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}=?\]

VIEW ANSWER
Answer: \[\frac{15}{2}\]

Explanation

When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together and then reduce.

\[\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)=\frac{20}{12}=\frac{5}{3}\]

\[\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)=\frac{2}{9}\]

When dividing fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction and reduce.

\[\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\div\left(\frac{2}{9}\right)\]

\[\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)\]

\[\frac{45}{6}=\frac{15}{2}\]
