What's the answer?
To evaluate x over y for x = two-thirds and y = five-sixths, we need to divide x by y.
(x/y) = (2/3)/(5/6)
When we divide fractions, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(x/y) = (2/3) * (6/5)
Simplifying the fractions, we get:
(x/y) = (2/3) * (6/5) = (2*6)/(3*5) = 12/15
Therefore, x over y for x = two-thirds and y = five-sixths is twelve-fifteenths.
