Answer:

5 1/4

Explanation:

To find the answer, we need to first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

5 2/5 = 27/5

5 1/4 = 21/4

5 2/3 = 17/3

5 1/2 = 11/2

The LCD (Least Common Denominator) is 60

27/5 = 324/60

21/4 = 315/60

17/3 = 340/60

11/2 = 330/60

The smallest is 315/60, so the answer is 5 1/4
