He will be able to pay off the loan at the end of #color(blue)("December."#

First, we need to find what is #5/6# of #12# months.

#=>5/(cancel6)xxcancel12^2#

#=10#

Next, we need to find if Mark begins working on March 1, at the end of what month will he first be able to pay off the loan.

#color(blue)("March + 10 months " = " December"#

Therefore, he will be able to pay off the loan at the end of December.

~Hope this helps! :)
