You're welcome.
To find the number of 5/6s in 3, we need to divide 3 by 5/6.
When dividing by a fraction, we can convert it into a multiplication problem by taking the reciprocal of the fraction. The reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.
So, to find the number of 5/6s in 3, we multiply 3 by 6/5:
3 * (6/5)
Now, we simplify the multiplication:
(3 * 6) / 5
= 18 / 5
Therefore, the answer is indeed 18/5 or 3.6.
