Answer:

question is incomplete. A complete question is ----> Diana is painting statues. She has 7/8 of a liter of paint remaining. Each statue requires 1/16 of a liter of paint. find the number of statues.

each statue requires 1/16th of a liter of paint.

so, in a liter , 16th statues can be painted by Diana.

but A/C to question,

she has 7/8 of a liter of paint remaining.

so, we have to find how many statues she can paint in 7/8 litres.

so, number of statues = 7/8 × 16 = 14
