To divide 16 by 3 as a decimal, follow these steps:

Step 1: Set up the division problem: 16 ÷ 3.
Step 2: Divide the first digit of the dividend (16) by the divisor (3). The result is 5.
Step 3: Write the result on top of the division symbol, above the dividend: 5.
Step 4: Multiply the result from Step 3 (5) by the divisor (3) and subtract it from the first digit of the dividend (16).
16 - (5 × 3) = 16 - 15 = 1.
Step 5: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0) and repeat Step 4.
Divide 10 by 3: 10 ÷ 3 = 3 with a remainder of 1.
Subtract (3 × 3) from 10: 10 - (3 × 3) = 10 - 9 = 1.

Step 6: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0) and repeat Step 4 again.
Divide 10 by 3: 10 ÷ 3 = 3 with a remainder of 1.
Subtract (3 × 3) from 10: 10 - (3 × 3) = 10 - 9 = 1.

At this point, you can see that the division will keep repeating the same remainder of 1. Therefore, the expression 16 ÷ 3, as a decimal, is approximately 5.3333.
