1. We are asked to solve the division problem $\frac{8}{9} \div \frac{4}{15}$.
2. The formula for dividing fractions is:
$$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$$
This means we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
3. Applying the formula:
$$\frac{8}{9} \div \frac{4}{15} = \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{15}{4}$$
4. Multiply the numerators and denominators:
$$= \frac{8 \times 15}{9 \times 4} = \frac{120}{36}$$
5. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 120 and 36 is 12:
$$= \frac{\cancel{12} \times 10}{\cancel{12} \times 3} = \frac{10}{3}$$
6. The final answer is an improper fraction:
$$\boxed{\frac{10}{3}}$$
