To figure out what fraction of the assignment her mom checked, first, we need to determine what fraction of the assignment Celeste completed. Since she completed 5/6 of the science problems, this means Celeste completed 5 out of 6 parts.

To find out what fraction her mom checked, we need to determine how many parts of the assignment Celeste's mom checked. Since she checked 2/3 of the assignment. Thus, her mom checked 2 out of 3 parts.

So, the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked is 2/6.

Therefore, Celeste's mom checked 2/6 of the assignment.
