There are 16 1/3 cups of flour in 5 and 1/3 cups of flour.

To find out how many 1/3 cups of flour are in 5 and 1/3 cups of flour, we can set up a proportion:

1/3 cups / 5 and 1/3 cups = x cups / 1 cup

To solve for x, we cross-multiply and solve the equation:

1/3 * 1 = 5 and 1/3 * x

x = (5 and 1/3) / (1/3)

x = (16/3) / (1/3)

x = 16/1

x = 16

So, there are 16 1/3 cups of flour in 5 and 1/3 cups of flour.
