To find the fraction of seniors, subtract the total number of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors from the total class size, then divide by the total class size. There are 16 freshmen, 8 sophomores, and 9 juniors, totaling 33 students. Subtracting this from the total class size of 79 gives 46 seniors. Therefore, the fraction of seniors is $\frac{46}{79}$.
