Recall or look up that #"1 atm"# #=# #"101325 Pa"#.

This means that multiplying by #"1 atm"/"101325 Pa"# merely converts units, and does not change the validity of your answer.

So, what we have is:

#16.00 cancel"kPa" xx (1000 cancel"Pa")/cancel"1 kPa" xx "1 atm"/(101325 cancel"Pa")#

#=# #color(blue)("0.1579 atm")# to 4 sig figs.
