Answer:

There are 2.5 1/3 inches in 5/6 inch

Explanation:

In order to find how many equal parts are in some whole, you have to divide this whole by the measure of the part. For this case, the whole thing is represented by 5/6 inch and every part you want to divide it measures 1/3 inches.

(5/6) / (1/3) = 5/6 * 3 = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5
