\(1 (2)/(3)\) fits into
\((5)/(6)\), \((1)/(2)\) times.


To determine how many times the fraction
\(1 (2)/(3)\) fits into the fraction
\((5)/(6)\), you can set up a division:


\[ (5)/(6) / \left(1 (2)/(3)\right) \]

First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:


\[ 1 (2)/(3) = (5)/(3) \]

Now, rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal:


\[ (5)/(6) * (3)/(5) \]

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:


\[ ((5 * 3))/((6 * 5)) = (15)/(30) \]

So, the fraction
\((5)/(6)\) fits into the fraction
\(1 (2)/(3)\) \((15)/(30)\) times. Simplifying this fraction further:


\[ (15)/(30) = (1)/(2) \]

Therefore,
\(1 (2)/(3)\) fits into
\((5)/(6)\), \((1)/(2)\) times.


The probable question can be: How many times does the fraction \(1 \frac{2}{3}\) fit into the fraction \(\frac{5}{6}\)?
