The correct answer should be 5/18
Step-by-step explanation:

To visualize the question we are trying to solve, let's put 5/6 and 3 side-by-side so it's easier to see:
5/6÷ 3
So here is the incredibly easy way to figure out what 5/6 divided by 3 is. All we need to do here is keep the numerator exactly the same (5) and multiple the denominator by the whole number:
5. 1
— x —
6. 3
