Question

first, rewrite division as multiplication using the reciprocal of 16.
\\(\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{16} = \frac{2}{3} \div 16\\)
\\(= \frac{2}{3} \cdot \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reciprocal definition

The reciprocal of a number \( n \) (where \( n
eq0 \)) is \( \frac{1}{n} \). For \( n = 16 \), its reciprocal is \( \frac{1}{16} \).

Step2: Apply division to multiplication rule

When dividing by a number, we multiply by its reciprocal. So \( \frac{2}{3}\div16=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{16} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{16}\)
