Answer:

The answer is 17 presents.

Explanation:

Each present weighs 1/3 kg. so you turn 5 2/3 into an improper fraction, 17/3. And then now you do 17/3 divided by 1/3, which gives you 17.

Answer:

Aisha wrapped 17 presents.

Explanation:

If each present weighs 1/3 kilograms (the "kilograms" doesn't matter, just the weight of each present and the combined weight), and 3 presents fit in one kilogram, then 15 can fit in 5 kilograms, and 2 more can fit in the remaining two thirds.
