Explanation:

Step1: Set up the multiplication

Mabel's bins = $\frac{5}{6} \times 63$

Step2: Multiply numerator by whole number

$\frac{5 \times 63}{6} = \frac{315}{6}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{315 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{105}{2}$ (or convert to mixed number: $52\frac{1}{2}$)

Answer:

$\frac{105}{2}$ or $52\frac{1}{2}$
