To divide two-thirds ÷ one-fourth, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The reciprocal of one-fourth is four over one (4/1).
So, the calculation becomes:
two-thirds × four over one (4/1)
Multiplying across, we get:
(2/3) × (4/1) = 8/3
Therefore, the answer in simplest form is 8/3.
