When you divide a number by a fraction, it's the same as if you multiply the number by the "reciprocal" of the fraction. The "reciprocal" means "flipping" the fraction. Thus, the reciprocal of 1/16 = 16/1 = 16.
Therefore 5 divided by 1/16 = 5 * 16 = 80

When dividing by a fraction: invert (turn it over) and multiply.
5/1 * 16/1 = 80/1 = 80

Take the fraction, divide 1 by 16 which will convert to decimal form. Then take that number and divide it into 5.

The decimal equilivent of 1/16 is: .0625
So divide 5 by .0625 you get 80.
Or 16 X 5 =80. Same thing.
