$\frac{5}{2}$ $5/2$

Explanation:

Easiest way is to first change $1 \frac{2}{3}$ $1 2/3$ to the improper fraction $\frac{5}{3}$ $5/3$ .

Dividing one fraction by the other is the same thing as multiplying it by the reciprocal of the second. This means flipping the fraction upside down.
$\frac{5}{3} \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2}$ $5/3divide2/3=5/3*3/2$
Now just multiply. You multiply fractions by multiplying the numerators across and the denominators across, forming another fraction.
$\frac{5}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{6}$ $5/3*3/2=15/6$
And finally simplify.
$\frac{15}{6} = 2.5$ $15/6=2.5$
