$16 2/3$

The questions asks for a number, when multiplied by $6$ gives $100$

Let the number be $x$

Then,

$rarrx* 6=100$

Divide both sides by $6$

$rarr(x*cancel6)/(cancelcolor(red)(6))=100/(color(red)(6))$

$rarrx=100/6$

$rarrx=50/3$

$color(green)(rArrx=16 2/3=16.bar6$

By the way, $16.bar6$ means $16.666....$ repeating forever

Hopefully this helps!!! :)
