Answer as an improper fraction = 10/3 inches

Answer as a mixed number = 3 & 1/3 inches

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the two given values to get (2/3)*5 = (2/3)*(5/1) = 10/3

Optionally, you can convert that to a mixed number

10/3 = (9+1)/3 = (9/3) + (1/3) = 9 + (1/3) = 3 & 1/3
