there are 3 thirds in a whole.
To find out how many thirds are in 5 and two-thirds, we first convert 5 to thirds by multiplying it by 3 to get 15 thirds. Adding the two-thirds gives us a total of 17 thirds. Therefore, there are 17 thirds in 5 and two-thirds.

If every fraction could be turned into a whole number, we wouldn't need fractions. 5 thirds is not a whole number, and there's nothing you can do to make it one, except to find another third somewhere and toss it on the pile. If you can do that, then you'll have 2. But if you're stuck with 5 thirds, then there's no way to make a whole number.
You can only get one 2/3 out of a whole, since two times two thirds is four thirds which is one and a third, hence, larger than a whole.
