Answer 2

To find the number that, when multiplied by 3, equals 16, you would divide 16 by 3. The result is approximately 5.33. This is because 3 multiplied by 5 is 15, and 3 multiplied by 6 is 18, so the number must be between 5 and 6.

Answer 3

Well, darling, 3 times what gives you 16? That's simple math - 3 times 5 equals 15, not 16. So, grab a calculator or brush up on your multiplication tables, because 3 times 5 is the closest you're gonna get to 16.
