Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required product is $\frac{20}{9}$.

Step 1. Rewrite the numbers.

$\frac{5}{6}\cdot \frac{8}{3}=\frac{5\times 8}{6\times 3}$

Step 2. Cancel out the common factors from the numerator and denominator.

$\frac{5\times 8}{6\times 3}=\frac{5\times 4}{3\times 3}$

Step 3. Simplify the numerator and denominator.

$\frac{5\times 4}{3\times 3}=\frac{20}{9}$
