Answer:

15

Explanation:

Keep, Change, Flip. That is the mantra you should have when you come to division problems with fractions. So you would keep the 5, change the sign into multiplication, and flip the fraction from 1/3 to 3/1 (which actually is just 3). Then you would multiply 5 * 3. Your answer should be 15.
