To simplify \( 27 \frac{1}{3} \), we can convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

1. First, convert \( 27 \) to a fraction:
\( 27 = \frac{27 \times 3}{3} = \frac{81}{3} \).

2. Then, add \( \frac{1}{3} \) to it:
\[
27 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{81}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{81 + 1}{3} = \frac{82}{3}.
\]

Thus, the simplified form of \( 27 \frac{1}{3} \) is \( \frac{82}{3} \).

To express \( 27 \frac{1}{3} \) as a whole number, you can simply consider the whole part of the mixed number. The whole number is:

\[
27
\]

However, if you need to round \( 27 \frac{1}{3} \) to the nearest whole number, it would round to \( 27 \) since \( \frac{1}{3} \) is less than \( \frac{1}{2} \).

If you're looking for a mixed number instead in whole number format, the whole number part remains 27, and it would be:

\[
27
\]

So the answer in whole number format remains \( 27 \).
