Answer:

5 divided by 5/6 would be 6.

Explanation:

Turn 5 into a fraction ( 5/1 ) and find the common denominator ( 6 ) and multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/1 with 6 ( 5/1 x 6/6 = 30/6 ).

Now you have 30/6 / 5/6.

To divide with a fraction you would actually multiply it by the inverse of 5/6 which is 6/5.

30/6 x 6/5 = 180/30 --> simplify and get 6.
