Explanation below, but in short, a fraction means to divide the top/left number by the bottom/right number. It means to divide 5 by 6.

5/6 = 0.83333333 ...

Why is this? This is because a fraction simply means to divide the numerator (the top/left number) by the denominator (bottom/right number). So 5 : 6 = 0.83333333 ... in decimal form.
