7/8 is equal to 14/16; so if one statue requires 1/16 gal. of paint, she has enough to paint 14 statues.
calculista

we know that

Each statue requires [tex]1/16[/tex] of a gallon of paint

so

by proportion

Find how many statues can she paint with [tex]7/8[/tex] of a gallon of paint

[tex]\frac{1}{(1/16)} \frac{statue}{gallons} =\frac{x}{(7/8)} \frac{statue}{gallons} \\ \\ x=\frac{(7/8)}{(1/16)} \\ \\x=7*16/8 \\ \\x=14\ statues[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]14\ statues[/tex]
