Assuming the decimal is repeating to infinity. If so it should be written as

'5.333...' (Note the three or more dots, which indicates 'to infinity'.

Hence

Let P = 5.333...

Then

10P = 53.333...

Subtract

9P = 48 ( Note the decimals to inifinity subtract to zero).

P = 48/9

P = 5 3/9

P = 5 1/3 Done!!!!!
