1. **State the problem:** We want to simplify the expression $5\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \div 4$.
2. **Recall the division rule:** Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So, dividing by 4 is the same as multiplying by $\frac{1}{4}$.
3. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$5\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \div 4 = 5\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \times \frac{1}{4}$$
4. **Multiply the numerators and denominators:**
$$= \frac{5 \times 2}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{10}{3} \times \frac{1}{4}$$
5. **Multiply the fractions:**
$$= \frac{10 \times 1}{3 \times 4} = \frac{10}{12}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (2):**
$$= \frac{\cancel{10}^{\,5}}{\cancel{12}^{\,6}}$$
7. **Final simplified answer:**
$$\frac{5}{6}$$
So, the expression simplifies to $\frac{5}{6}$.
