Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

How much of the 5/6 is in 1/3 means there is 3/4 of some number which gives a result of 1/3.

Assuming the unknown number to be x, we can write it as:

(5/6)x = 1/3

Now solving for x, 6 in the denominator of x is multiplied to (1/3):

5x = 6 (1/3)

5x = 2

Divide 2 by 5 to get:

x = 2/5

Therefore, the answer is 2/5.
