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.
Answer: second choice
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
