In order to divide 5/6 by 1/3, we must remember the rule for division of fractions. Multiply by the reciprical, which is the denomonator over the numorator. In this case, that's three. So multiply the 5 of 5/6 by 3 and put the product over the denomonator.
5/6 x 3 = 15/6
Which may be reduced to 5/2
