Answer:


\frac 53 \pi

Explanation:

Simple formula:
\frac \alpha {\alpha°} =\frac \pi {180°} where
\alpha is the angle in radians, and
\alpha° is the angle in degrees. By plugging numbers you'll get the result.

Another way to get the result, which I like more, is to think of it in parts of the whole circle. 300° is 5/6 of a circle, and a circle measures
2\pi Hence, you want 5/6 of
2\pi, or
\frac 53 \pi
