How do I solve this problem

Chad buys peanuts in 2 pound bags. He repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pounds of peanuts. How many 2 pound bags of peanuts should Chad buy so that he can fill the 5/6 pound bags without having any peanuts left over?

Try dividing 5/6 and 2 (ex: 2 ÷ 5/6) and I think that you should get your answer.
