Answer: 6

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jeremiah plans on building a garden walkway 5 meters long with stones that measure 5/6 meter on each side.

The number of stones that are need would be gotten by dividing 5 by 5/6. This would be:

= 5 ÷ 5/6

= 5 × 6/5

= 30/5

= 6

Therefore, the answer is 6.
