Answer in explanation:

*change the problem to
(5)/(6) x
(3)/(1)

(change 3 into a fraction by putting 1 in the place of a denominator)

next cross multiply

5 x /1

/2 1

3 can go into 6- 1 time

since anything multiplied by 1 is 1, the answer is
(5)/(2)

Hope this helps ya!

*(disclaimer lol: alternatively, you could cross multiply without changing 3 to a fraction and get the same answer-- however, I wanted to explain as clearly as possible, and figured it was less confusing this way!)
