To change any fraction into a decimal you simply divide the numerator (top of the fraction) by the denominator (bottom of the fraction) so:

.

5 1/3 = 5.3 (the dot over the three signifying recurring)

Here I didn't bother to make the fraction top heavy I just added it to the units, so alternatively:

16/3 (5 * 3 + 1 all over 3) I also get 5.333333333333...
