5 3/5 : 2 1/10
28/5 : 21/10 or (28/5) / (21/10) = (28/5)*(10/21) =(28/21)*(10/5)
(4/3) * (2) = 8/3 or 8 to 3.
or if you notice that the ratio is 5.6/2.1 or 56 / 21
that leads directly to 8/3 or again 8 to 3.

5 3/5 could be changed to 28/5
2 1/10 could be changed to 21/10
the ratio would be
28/5:21/10
since the denominators have a common multiple, which is 10, we multiply 10 to 28/5 and 21/10.
we will get:
56:21
56 and 21 have a common factor, which is 7.
we will divide 7 to 56 and 21.
we will get
8:3
the simplest form of the ratio 5 3/5: 2 1/10 is
8:3

2 2/3
5 3/5 = (25+3)/5 = 28/5
2 1/10 = (20+1)/10 = 21/10
28/5 divided by 21/10 = (28/5)*(10/21)=
(28/21)*(10/5) = (4/3)*2 = 8/3 = 2 2/3

5 3/5: 2 1/10
5 6/10: 2 1/10
2 2/3 : 1
You can check this with a calculator:
5 3/5 = 5.6; 2 1/10 = 2.1; 5.6/2.1 = 2.666667 = 2 2/3

(5 3/5) / (2 1/10)
5 3/5 = (28/5)
2 1/10 = (21/10)
(28/5)/(21/10) = (28/5)*(10/21) = (2 * 2 * 7 * 5 * 2)/(3 * 7 * 5)
ANS : (8/3) or 2 2/3
