hint:
$$\huge \frac 34 \div \frac 23 \implies \frac 34 \times \frac 32$$
does that help?

That's an example...it's not your question.  Just look at it to solve the problem you posted.

anonymous · Answer

but idk how to  solve it...

shane_b · Answer

If you do the same thing that @lgbasallote posted with $$\Large \frac{2}{3} \div \frac{5}{6}$$what do you get?

You just invert the second fraction and multiply...

anonymous · Answer

do i divide the top and bottom or just the top

shane_b · Answer

The question isn't asking you to solve the problem...it's asking you to convert it to multiplication. There's no division involved with just doing that. 

Just flip the second fraction and multiply....you'll see that what you come up with matches one of the answers.
