Answer:Answer: I agree with 6/5 and with 1 1/5

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation: okay, to find the value of the amount of 5/6 in 1, we simply just divide 1 by 5/6

Taking a similar problem with different numbers. Let's the the amount of 2s in 10, we do 10/2 which equals 5, so we have 5 2s in 10, you get? 2,4,6,8,10

So dividing 1 by 5/6

I / (5/6)

Change since to multiplication

1 * 6/5

= 6/5

Changing this to a mixed fraction, we get 1 whole number, 1 over 5 = 1 1/5
