I set it up as a ratio with hours on the top and the fraction of the job on the bottom.  It looks like this: 5/(2/3) / x/1, because 1 is the whole job if 2/3 is only a fraction of it.  Cross multiplying gives you 2/3x = 5. Solving for x gives you that it will take 7.5 hours to complete a whole job if it takes 5 hours to complete 2/3 of it.
