Answer:

4

Explanation:

This is correct because to divided you have to keep, change, flip. First you want to change into in improper fraction of 16/3 and 4/3. The you want to keep your first number of 16/3 and change you sign to multiplication then flip you number of 4/3 to 3/4 and this is your formula.

16/3 x3/4= 48/12 which simplified= 4

HOPE THIS HELPS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!
