You can write 3 1/5, however... most often when a teacher wants you to simplify, they do not want you to use mixed numbers like this. This is as simplified as it gets!

16/5= 31/5
sixteen over five is simplified to three and one fifth.

You don't simplify it. 5 is a prime number and won't go into 16, its as simple as it gets.

U can't simplify that 16 does't have a 5th.
