Answer: 5 times

Explanation:

Your question isn't well written but let me rewrite it based on what I believe that you wrote.

Lauren studies for 3 1/3 hours. She took a break every 2/3 hour. How many breaks did she take?

To solve the question, we have to divide the number if hours used in studying by the interval used in taking a break. This will be:

= 3 1/3 ÷ 2/3

= 10/3 / 2/3

= 10/3 × 3/2

= 5

She took a break 5 times
