Answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{5}{9} /\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5}{9} X \frac{3}{1}[/tex] Multiply across. Multiply the denominators by each other to make the denominator in the answer. Multiply the two numerators for the numerator in the answer.
= [tex]\frac{15}{9}[/tex] Simplify by dividing the entire fraction by 5.
= [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] This fraction is in improper form because the numerator is greater than the denominator. Change it the mixed number form.
For the number of times 5 can divide by 3, take out 1 whole.
5 goes into 3 one time only with remainder 2.
[tex]\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
