Answer:

47/60

Explanation:

Convert the integers into fraction by multiplying them by the top number.

For example,
a (b)/(c) = (ab)/(c)

Therefore,

$4 (1)/(3) = (4*1)/(3)= (4)/(3)\\\\3 (2)/(5) = (3*2)/(5)= (6)/(5)\\\\\\-2 (14)/(16) = (-2*14)/(16)= (-28)/(16)\\\\$

So simplified, we get
(4)/(3)+ (6)/(5)-(28)/(16)

That further simplifies to
(47)/(60)
