You would need to make the fraction a improper fraction and reverse it. It's improper fraction would be 17/3, flip that around and you will get 17/3. The answer is B.

B.

Okay, so the fraction 5
(2)/(3) ... 5, in terms of thirds, is 15/3, plus ⅔ = 17/3.
The reciprocal of that is just upside-down— 3/17.
