Answer:

47/48

Explanation:

Since 5 7/8 is so close to 6, it is easier to work this problem by considering the difference.

The serving size is 1/6 of the total amount, so you want to find ...

... (5 7/8) × (1/6)

Following the observation above, we can compute it as ...

... (6 - 1/8) × (1/6) = (6/6) - (1/8)×(1/6)

... = 1 - 1/48

... = 47/48
