5/6. But are you sure you are supposed to use Yahoo Answers for your homework?

It is tough in a sense that 1/3 is not a terminating but repeating decimal which comes out to 0.333333333333333333333333333333333333etc. An approximate answer would be 8333/10000.
Other acceptable answers could be 83333/100000 or 833333/1000000 and so on depending on how many places you round the repeating decimal.
