In general, dividing a fraction, dividened, by a fraction, divisor, is equivalent to multiplying the dividened by the reciprocal of the devisor.

In this problem, dividing 6/5 by 1/3 is equivalent to multiplying 6/5 by the reciprocal of 1/3.  

Thus, we have: 6/5 ÷ 1/3 = 6/5 × 3/1=(6×3)/(5×1)=18/5 (or 3 and 3/5)

The answer is 18/5 (or 3 and 3/5)
