To graph 5/6 and 5/3 on the number line, we need to first find their decimal equivalents.
5/6 = 0.83333...
5/3 = 1.66666...
Now we can plot these points on the number line:
- On the number line, mark a point at approximately 0.83 for 5/6.
- On the number line, mark a point at approximately 1.67 for 5/3.
Connect these points with a line to show the positions of these fractions on the number line.

not decimals i need to know where to put them on the number line
My apologies for the confusion. To graph 5/6 and 5/3 on the number line without decimals, follow these steps:
1. Begin at the point 0 on the number line.
2. Since 5/6 is between 0 and 1, divide the distance between 0 and 1 into 6 equal parts.
3. Count 5 of those parts from 0 and place a point.
4. Label that point as 5/6 on the number line.
5. Since 5/3 is greater than 1, mark 1 on the number line.
6. Divide the space between 1 and 2 into 3 equal parts.
7. Count 5 of those parts from 1 and place a point.
8. Label that point as 5/3 on the number line.
Connect the points to show the positions of 5/6 and 5/3 accurately on the number line.
