Answer:

  2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of different ways that division of fractions can be done.

1) "invert and multiply"

  $\dfrac{14}{15}\div\dfrac{7}{5}=\dfrac{14}{15}\times\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\=\dfrac{14}{7}\times\dfrac{5}{15}=\boxed{\dfrac{2}{3}}$

2) use the numerators when the denominators are the same

  $\dfrac{14}{15}\div\dfrac{7}{5}=\dfrac{14}{15}\div\dfrac{21}{15}\\\\=\dfrac{14}{21}=\boxed{\dfrac{2}{3}}$
