Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{4\dfrac{1}{2}:5\dfrac{2}{5}=5:6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4\dfrac{1}{2}:5\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

we convert a mixed number to an improper fraction

[tex]4\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{4\cdot2+1}{2}=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\5\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5\cdot5+2}{5}=\dfrac{27}{5}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]4\dfrac{1}{2}:5\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{9}{2}:\dfrac{27}{5}=\dfrac{9\!\!\!\!\diagup^1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{5}{27\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_3}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{1\cdot5}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{5}{6}=5:6[/tex]
