Answer:

11

Explanation:

To find the number that is 5 more than
(1)/(3) of 18, we can start by evaluating what
(1)/(3) is:


(1)/(3) of 18


(1)/(3) * 18

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, we can convert the whole number into a fraction by giving it a denominator of 1:


(1)/(3) * (18)/(1)


(18)/(3) [This is the same as 18 ÷ 3]


\bf 6

Now that we have the value of
(1)/(3) of 18, we can simply add to it to find the number that is 5 more than
(1)/(3) of 18:


((1)/(3) * 18) + 5


6 + 5


\bf 11

∴ The number we are looking for is 11.
