The mixed number 4 (2/3) can be put into improper form, which would be (14/3). Next, you need to divide it by (2/3). An easier method is to multiply by the reciprocal instead, which is (3/2).
(14/3) * (3/2) --> (14 * 3) / (3 * 2) --> (42/6).
If asked, this will simplify to 7.

change 4 2/3 to an improper fraction which is
14/3 and then divide by 2/3
14 2
----- divided ------
3 3
in division you have to reciprocate the second fraction so it becomes:
14 3
----- times -----
3 2
the threes cancel off so you are left with 14/2 which you know is 7
therefore your answer is 7
hope this helps :)
