Final answer:

To move contents from cell B16 to C5 without cut and paste, use the mouse to drag and drop the cell content, ensuring to click and hold on the edge of the cell and releasing over cell C5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To move the contents of cell B16 to cell C5 in a spreadsheet without using cut and paste, you can make use of the drag-and-drop feature with the mouse. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Click on cell B16 to select it.
  2. Place the mouse pointer on the edge of the cell until it changes to a four-sided arrow icon. This indicates that you can drag the cell content.
  3. Click and hold the left mouse button, then drag the cell content from B16 to C5.
  4. Release the mouse button when you're over cell C5 to drop the contents into the new location.

This process will move the contents without leaving the original cell empty, essentially duplicating the content into the new cell. Please note that any formatting or formulas will also be copied over.
