Count total parts in the rectangle. Find how many should be red for \( \frac{1}{3} \). Subtract from the number currently red to find how many to erase.

• Count the total number of equal parts in the rectangle.
• Multiply the total parts by \( \frac{1}{3} \) to find how many should be red.
• Count the currently red parts and subtract the target.
• Parts to erase = 5

Final Answer: C: 5
