Answer 1

The right answer is (B)

Answer 2

N = 3/8 (Answer B)

Explanation:

Here we need to isolate the variable N. Rewriting 2 1/6 as the equivalent 13/6, we get:

13/16 ÷ N = 2 1/6 = 13/6.

Then 13/16 ÷ N = 13/6, or

(13/16) 13

---------- = ------

N 6

Dividing both sides by 13, we get:

(1/16) 1

---------- = ------

N 6

Cross-multipying results in 6/16 = N.

Reducing this, we obtain the solution, N = 3/8 (Answer B)
