I am assuming 5/3 refers to 5/3rds of a full revolution.
radians is easier for now so I'll do that first. on full revolution = 2π radians, but you have 1 and 2/3rds revolutions, so that is 2π+2π*(2/3)=10π/3 radian turn
to convert from radians to degrees multiply the radians by 180/π, so (10π/3)*(180/π) => 600degrees
Final answer:
5/3 turn is 600 degrees and 10π/3 radians
Hope I helped :)
