First you make 15 a fraction by putting it over 1.
Then you make 6 2/3 a mixed fraction.
To do this, you multiply 6 with 3 and add 2 to it. Then you put the number over 3.
We get
6 X 3 = 18
18 +2 = 20
20/3

Now, we divide 15/1 with 20/3.
When we divide it, we actually cross multiply it. Basically, we flip the fraction and multiply it.

So we get 15/1 X 3/20 = .

We get 45/20 which can be simplified to 9/5 which can be simplified to 2  1/4.

So the answer is 9/4 or 2  1/4.
