Answer: 3-1/3

You have to do 5x2/3 and it equals to 10/3 but 10 is greater than the denominator so we have to make 10/3 in to a proper fraction because its improper so 10/3 turns into 3-1/3 so now its a proper fraction and that is the answer just read the question 3 times and look at the fraction strips.
