Answer:
(3)/(8) pieces of paper each student will receive.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pieces of construction paper = 6

Number of students = 16

According to question, each student will receive the construction paper for an art project.

So, Number of pieces of paper each student will receive is given by


(6)/(16)\\\\=(3)/(8)

Hence,
(3)/(8) pieces of paper each student will receive.
