The answer is 1 and 2/3. 5/3 means 5 divided by 3. 5 goes into 3 once so the whole number is one. There is then 2 left so you are left with 2/3. 2 doesn't go into 3 so you leave it like that. This makes the answer 1 and 2/3 because 1 is the whole number and 2/3 is the unit fraction.

Unit fractions are fractions that have a numerator of 1

  • 5/3 as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction is 5 1/3

The number (n) is given as:

  • \(n = \frac 53\)

Express 5 as 5 1

\(n = \frac {5 \times 1}3\)

Express 3 as 1 3

\(n = \frac {5 \times 1}{1 \times 3}\)

Spilt the expression

\(n = \frac {5}{1} \times \frac{1}{3}\)

Evaluate 5/1

\(n = 5 \times \frac{1}{3}\)

Hence, 5/3 as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction is 5 1/3
