<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (the number on the top) and the denominator (the number below). In this case, 16 is the numerator, indicating how many parts are considered, and 9 is the denominator, showing how many parts make up a whole. A decimal is a way to represent a non-whole number using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>
