What is 2/3 of 5? Pls help

Answer 1

`(10)/(3)`

Simplified version:

`3(1)/(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of 5 can be written as:

`(2)/(3)` ×
`5`

1. Note that 5 is the same as 5/1 since 5 divided by 1 is 5. Therefore, start by setting up the problem like this:

`(2)/(3)` ×
`(5)/(1)`

2. Multiply the numerators together (2 x 5 = 10) and multiply the denominators together (3 x 1 = 3) and make it into one fraction like so:

`(10)/(3)`

3. Simplify the fraction:

`3(1)/(3)`
