It is important to read the question very carefully. All the required details are already given in the question. based on those given information's the answer to the question can be easily determined.
Let us assume the fraction to be = x
Then
17 - x = (17/3) + 6
17 - x = (17 + 18)/3
17 - x = 35/3
x = 17 - (35/3)
x = (51 - 35)/3
= 16/3
So the fraction would be 16/3 or 5 1/3. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always rely on this procedure for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside.
