#16/3#

Make the whole number part #5# into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction part. Then they can be added...

#5 1/3 = 5+1/3 = (5*3)/3 + 1/3 = 15/3 + 1/3 = 16/3#

#16/3#

Multiply the denominator and the whole number,

#3 xx 5 = 15#

Add the numerator,

#15 + 1 = 16#

Put that answer over the denominator,

#16/3#
