To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by switching the numerator and the denominator. So, (8/15) ÷ (2/5) is simplified as (8/15) * (5/2).
Multiplying the numerators and the denominators respectively, we get the product (8 * 5)/(15 * 2) = 40/30 = 4/3.
Therefore, 8/15 divided by 2/5 simplifies to 4/3.
