To simplify the ratio of \( \frac{2}{3} : \frac{4}{5} \), you can express it as a fraction:
\[ \frac{2/3}{4/5} \]
To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal:
\[ \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 4} = \frac{10}{12} \]
Now, simplify \( \frac{10}{12} \) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
\[ \frac{10 \div 2}{12 \div 2} = \frac{5}{6} \]
Thus, the simplified ratio of \( \frac{2}{3} : \frac{4}{5} \) is \( 5:6 \).
