Problem

How many whole numbers lie in the interval between $\frac{5}{3}$ and $2\pi$ ?

Solution

The smallest whole number in the interval is $2$ because $5/3$ is more than $1$ but less than $2$ . The largest whole number in the interval is $6$ because $2\pi$ is more than $6$ but less than $7$ . There are five whole numbers in the interval. They are $2, 3, 4, 5, and 6$ , so the answer is $\boxed{B}$ .
