Answer 16

Since any number divided by itself equals 1, you can rewrite 1 as a fraction, e.g.
1=2 2 =3 3 =6 6

Any whole number can be rewritten as a fraction by multiplying it by 1 in the form of a fraction.

5 can be made into a fraction like so:
5∗1=5∗3 3 =15 3
51 3 =15 3 +1 3 =15+1 3 =16 3 and there you go
