Answer: [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pieces of paper each student will receive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of pieces of construction paper = 6
Number of students = 16
According to question, each student will receive the construction paper for an art project.
So, Number of pieces of paper each student will receive is given by
[tex]\frac{6}{16}\\\\=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Hence, [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pieces of paper each student will receive.
