Answer:

5/36 days

Explanation:

Given that Karen would exhaust 6 bags of lemons in a day at his stand

the question is how long will 5/6 bags last.

we can see that 5/6 is not even up to a bag of lemon, seeing that even 6 would last for a day

so if

6bags last for 1 day

5/6 bags will last x day

cross multiply

6x= 5/6

divide both sides by 6 we have

x= 5/6/6

x= 5/6*1/6

x= 5/36 days

5/36 days
