Answer:

10/3 of the cabinet

Explanation:

Given data

We are given that in 1/5 hour they can install 2/3 kitchen cabinet

We want to find out how many of the kitchen cabinet they can install in one hour

Hence

in 1/5 hour they installed 2/3 cabinet

in 1 hour they will install x cabinet

cross multiply

x* 1/5= 2/3

divide both sides by 1/5

x= 2/3/1/5

x= 2/3*5/1

x= 10/3 of the cabinet
