To evaluate x/y for given values of x and y, you need to divide the numerator x by the denominator y.
x/y = (2/3) / (5/6)
To divide fractions, you keep the first fraction the same and multiply it by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(2/3) * (6/5)
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(2 * 6)/(3 * 5) = 12/15
The fraction 12/15 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
(12/3)/(15/3) = 4/5
Therefore, x/y = 4/5.
Evaluate x/y for x= 2/3 and y= 5/6
