Final answer:
To find out how much of 5/6 is in 1/3, we convert 1/3 to an equivalent fraction with 6 as the denominator, resulting in 2/6. Then, we divide the numerator of the equivalent fraction (2) by the numerator of 5/6 (5), which gives us the fraction 2/5 as the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks: How much of Fraction 5 over 6 is in Fraction 1 over 3? To answer this, we need to find what fraction of 5/6 is the same as 1/3. To compare fractions, we find a common denominator and then compare the numerators.
First, let's express 1/3 in terms of sixths, since 6 is the common denominator here. If we multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 2, we get the equivalent fraction of 2/6. So, now we can compare fractions with the same denominator:
- Fraction 5/6 is our reference.
- Fraction 1/3, expressed as 2/6, is what we are comparing to 5/6.
Next, to find how much of 5/6 is 2/6, we divide 2 (the numerator of the second fraction) by 5 (the numerator of the first fraction).
2 divided by 5 is 2/5.
Therefore, the answer is A.) Fraction 2 over 5.
