To divide by 5/16 is equivalent to multiplying by the inverse fraction, 16/5. So the problem becomes 10/16 x 16/5. That is 160/80 which simplifies to 2. It is also possible to solve this by another route. You could note that when you multiply 10/16 by 16/5, the two 16s can cancel each other out (16/16 = 1) therefore you are left with 10/5 which again simplifies to 2.

I see that the question has been changed to a decimal form, since I first answered it. As a decimal, you can just punch this problem into your calculator, and get the same answer, 2.
