Solve for x in the equation 16x = 8.

The correct answer is: 2

To solve for x in the equation 16x = 8, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation by performing the inverse operation of multiplication, which is division. Since the equation is asking for what number multiplied by 16 equals 8, the answer would be the quotient of 8 divided by 16, which is 1/2 or 0.5. Therefore, none of the options A, B, or D are correct since they do not give the value of x that satisfies the given equation. Option C, 2, is the correct answer.
