Final answer:

Each student will receive 2 pancakes and there will be 4 leftover pancakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute 16 pancakes to 6 students equally, we can divide the total number of pancakes by the number of students:

16 pancakes ÷ 6 students = 2.67 pancakes per student.

Since we cannot distribute a fraction of a pancake, each student will receive 2 pancakes and there will be 4 leftover pancakes.
