Solution

Cindy has 5/6 of a kilogram of bird seed and she wants to put 1/6 of a kilogram in each cage.

To find out how many cages she can refill, you need to divide the total amount of bird seed she has by the amount she puts in each cage.

So, 5/6 ÷ 1/6 = 5

Therefore, Cindy can refill 5 bird cages with the bird seed she has left.
