Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{10}{6}$

We need to convert the fraction $\frac{5}{3}$ to a fraction that has the same denominator as the fraction $\frac{5}{6}$.
So, to make the denominator of the fraction $\frac{5}{3}$ equal to 6, we need to multiply both numerator and denominator with 2.
So, $\frac{5}{3}=\frac{5\times 2}{3\times 2}=\frac{10}{6}$
