What is the result of dividing 16 by 2.5?

The correct answer is: 6.4

To find the result of dividing 16 by 2.5, you can first convert the division into a more manageable form. Dividing 16 by 2.5 can be rewritten as multiplying 16 by the reciprocal of 2.5. The reciprocal of 2.5 is 1 divided by 2.5, which can be expressed as 0.4 (since 2.5 equals 5/2, and the reciprocal is 2/5). Thus, you can compute the division as: 16 ÷ 2.5 = 16 × 0.4. Calculating that gives: 16 × 0.4 = 6.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.4. This result comes from straightforward division and multiplication, making it clear that 16 divided by 2.5 results in 6.4, validating that option C is correct. Other options do not match this correct calculation of 6.4.
