    C-5/6 of a number cannot be greater than the number.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5/6 * 1 2/3 is 7/3.

    First let's solve it:

    Convert 1 2/3 to an improper fraction

    1 2/3 = (1 * 3) + 2 / 3 = 5/3

    Multiply the fractions

    5/6 * 5/3 = 25/18

    A is wrong because the answer is not less than 5.6

    B is wrong because the answer is an improper fraction.

    D is wrong because the denominator is the same as one of the factors.

    Therefore it has to be C.

    2/3 * 1 = 2/3

    Therefore how can 5/6, which is less than 1, multiply by 2/3 and get a greater answer.
