To convert an angle from radians to degrees, you can use the conversion factor:

$\text{degrees} = \text{radians} \times \frac{180}{\pi}$

For the angle $\frac{5\pi}{18}$ radians, the conversion to degrees is:

$\frac{5\pi}{18} \times \frac{180}{\pi}$

The $\pi$ cancels out:

$\frac{5 \times 180}{18} = \frac{900}{18} = 50^\circ$

So, $\frac{5\pi}{18}$ radians is equal to $50^\circ$.
