Solution :

$\large{Let \: \: the \: \: fraction \: \: be \: \: x} \\ \\ \large{Then, \: \: the \: \: equation \: \: is } : \\ \large{x \times (5 \frac{1}{3} + 6 \frac{1}{3} ) = 3} \\ \\ \large{The \: \: value \: \: of \: \: x \: \: is : } \\ x \times (5 \frac{1}{3} + 6 \frac{1}{3} ) = 3 \\ x \times ( \frac{16}{3} + \frac{19}{3} ) = 3 \\ x \times ( \frac{16 + 19}{3} ) = 3 \\ x \times \frac{35}{3} = 3 \\ \frac{35x}{3} = 3 \\ 35x = 3 \times 3 \\ 35x = 9 \\ \large{ \boxed{x = \underline{ \underline{\frac{9}{35} }}}} \\ \\ ∴ \: \: \large{The \: \: fraction \: \: is \: \: \frac{9}{35}}$
