Change both fractions to improper fractions.

4 1/5 = 21/5
5 2/3 = 17/3

(21/5) / (17/3)

21/5 * 3/17= 63/85

To divide mixed numbers like 4 1/5 by 5 2/3, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
- 4 1/5 = (4 x 5 + 1) / 5 = 21/5
- 5 2/3 = (5 x 3 + 2) / 3 = 17/3

2. Next, invert the divisor (the second fraction) and multiply it by the dividend (the first fraction).
- Inverting 17/3 gives us 3/17.
- Multiplying 21/5 by 3/17:
(21/5) x (3/17) = (21 x 3) / (5 x 17) = 63/85

Therefore, the result of 4 1/5 divided by 5 2/3 is 63/85.
Note: The decimal representation of 2/3 is indeed 0.666... (repeating), but for this division, we use the fractional form.
