Answer: 5/8 divided by 1/16 is equal to 10.

Explanation:

When dividing fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (flipped version) of the second fraction.

In this case, we want to divide 5/8 by 1/16:

1/16's reciprocal is 16/1.

So, we multiply 5/8 by 16/1:

(5/8) × (16/1) = (5 × 16) / (8 × 1) = 80/8

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 8:

80/8 ÷ 8/8 = 10/1
