I don't know where you have it but the sum of the partial pressure of each is the total pressure.
1.5 + 1.6 + 1.3 = ? atm.
You have a tough time getting 1.3 atm H2O vapor unless the container is sealed since the vapor pressure at boiling point is 1 atm.
1.5 + 1.6 + 1.3 = ? atm.
You have a tough time getting 1.3 atm H2O vapor unless the container is sealed since the vapor pressure at boiling point is 1 atm.
