Below is the fraction we are working with:
To simplify this fraction down to its lowest form, we see what number(s) can go into the numerator and the denominator evenly. We can start off with the number 2. 2 goes evenly into each number, can't it? :)

.
is already in it's simplest form. Now, we can see if they're equivalent. If not, we have to start all over.

does, too.
Just divide the numerator by the denominator to see what you have.
5 ÷ 6 = 83.3 with a repeating decimal, so they're equivalent!
Hope this helps!
