Brianna is taking a writing assessment that has 3 sections. She has a total of 5/6 of an hour to finish all the sections. If she is allowed the same amount of time finish each section, how much time does she have to spend on each section?
To find out how much time she has to spend on each section, we divide the total time she has by the number of sections: 5/6 hour / 3 sections = <<5/6/3=5/18>>5/18 of an hour per section.
To express this time in minutes, we multiply the number of minutes in an hour by the fraction: 5/18 hour * 60 minutes/hour = <<5/18*60=16.666666666666668>>16.67 minutes. Answer: \boxed{16.67}.
