Question

How do you multiply 1/16 x 16

Answer 1

16/16 = 1 is the answer to your given question.

Answer 2

You can rewrite the 16 as a fraction: 16/1  

This works since 16/1 is still equal to 16.

(You can rewrite any whole number as a fraction over 1:  $number = \frac{number}{1}$ )

Now just multiply the two fractions as normal:

$\frac{1}{16} \times \frac{16}{1}$      (Numerator times numerator, and denominator times denominator)

= $\frac{16}{16}$

= 1
