Answer:

D. [tex]\frac{16}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

To rewrite a mixed number as an improper fraction, first, multiply the whole number by the denominator.

[tex]3*5=15[/tex]

Then, add this number to the numerator.

[tex]15+1=16[/tex]

This number is now the numerator of the fraction. The denominator stays the same.

[tex]\frac{16}{5}[/tex]
