#(2c^3)/3#

To divide fractions, you can multiply the reciprocal (flip) of the second fraction. This makes the expression

#(4b)/(9c)*(3c^5)/(2bc#

Now multiply the numerators and denominators together

#(12c^5b)/(18c^2b)#

This can now be simplified by getting rid of the common variables:

#(2*cancel6cancelc^2*c^3cancelb)/(3*cancel6cancelc^2cancelb)#

You are then left with #(2c^3)/3#
