10/3 : 97/6
20/6 : 97/6
20 : 97
I don`t see where 5/4 is coming from.

In my opinion , the answer is different from 5/4
3 1/3 : 16 1/6 =
3 1/3 =10/3
16 1/6=97/6
10/3: 97/6 =10/3*6/97 =20/97

(2/2), (3/3), and (6/6) are all equal to one. multiplication by those fractions will not change the value. It is only done to find a common denominator.
3 and 1/3 = 3 * (3/3) + 1/3 = 9/3 + 1/3 = 10/3
10/3 * (2/2) = 20/6
16 and 1/6 = 16 * (6/6) + 1/6 = 96/6 + 1/6 = 97/6
The answer is (20/6) / (97/6)
Cancel out both denominators
the answer is 20/97

A ratio is simply a division problem. Change these mixed numbers to improper fractions and divide:
10/3 / 97/6, flip and multiply
= 10/3 * 6/97, reduce
= 10 * 2/97
= 20/97
There is no way the answer can be 5/4.
hope this helps.

(3+1/3) / (16+1/6)
=(10/3)/(97/6)
=10/3*(6/97)
=20/97
