#color(red)(96)# divided by 6 gives 16.

Explanation:

We can rewrite this in algebraic terms as:

#x/6 = 16#

Now, multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(6)# to solve for #x# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(6) xx x/6 = color(red)(6) xx 16#

#cancel(color(red)(6)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6))) = 96#

#x = 96#
