Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that the amount of work Stuart completes each day is constant.

Step 1: We know that Stuart completes 1 whole piece of work in 16 days. So, the fraction of work he completes each day is 1/16.

Step 2: To find out how much work he completes in 6 days, we multiply the fraction of work he completes each day by 6.

So, 1/16 * 6 = 6/16 = 3/8.

Therefore, Stuart completes 3/8 of the work in 6 days. So, the answer is B. 3/8.
