In the division a/b, a is the dividend, and b is the divisor.

In this problem, 2/3 is the dividend, and 4/5 is the divisor.

She needed to multiply the dividend, 2/3, by the reciprocal of the divisor, 5/4.

Instead, she multiplied the dividend by the divisor without using the reciprocal.

The answer would be B.

To properly solve the answer you would have to leave [tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex] alone and change the division sign into multiplication. Then, do reciprocal of [tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex].

In this case the person did not do the reciprocal of [tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex].

So, the answer is B
