Answer

Option A is correct.

The number is a number between zero and one.

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number to be multiplied with 16 be x.

16 × x = 16x

We are told that this number is positive but less than 16

0 < 16x < 16

If we divide through by 16, we'll have

(0/16) < (16x/16) < (16/16)

0 < x < 1

Hence, we can see that the number, x, is between zero and 1.

Hope this Helps!!!
