So change 5 2/3 to a decimal and round correct? We can see the whole number is 5 so 5. now turn 2/3 to a decimal by dviding 2/3 = . 666 now add 5 and .666 together we get 5.666 but it wants us to round to the nearest hundredths so 5.67

to change 5 2/3 to a mix fraction, we times 3 x 5 = 15 then add the numerator so 15 + 2 = 17 and we get 17/3 and now we divide 17/3 to get our decimal, which is 5.67
