1.5 = 3+ is on the upbeat (and of 3), with the 3 draw on the down of the 4th beat and the 4 draw after the 5+ is the downbeat of the bar (beat 1).

1.6 = 123 is beat 1... 123 blow is beat 2... 123 is beat 3... then the triplet passage starts on beat 4.

Listen carefully to the recorded example I provide on this site... this will help a lot. Best wishes on your studies!
