so the first step is to find how many times 5 goes into 16, or close to 16.

The closest number is 15 (3×5=15) so the whole number would be 3.

Now there will be an extra 1 left over so your answer is going to be 3 1/5

Answer: 3 and 1/5

Step-by-step explanation: To write an improper fraction as a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator.


\sqrt[5]{16} = 3 with a remainder of 1

Therefore, 14/5 can be written as the mixed number 3 and 1/5.
