x ----> the number of 1/3 in that are in 5/6 in

To find out the number of 1/3 in that are in 5/6 in, divide 5/6 by 1/3

so

[tex]x=\frac{5}{6}:\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Multiply in cross

[tex]x=\frac{15}{6}[/tex]

Convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{15}{6}=\frac{12}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=2\frac{3}{6}=2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
