Let's go through the problems shown in the image.

### Problem 16:
\[
\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{2}
\]

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
\[
\frac{5 \times 1}{8 \times 2} = \frac{5}{16}
\]

So, the answer is:
\[
\frac{5}{16}
\]

### Problem 20:
\[
\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{7}{8}
\]

Again, multiply the numerators and the denominators:
\[
\frac{5 \times 7}{7 \times 8} = \frac{35}{56}
\]

Since the 7's cancel out (because they are common factors), we get:
\[
\frac{5}{8}
\]

So, the answer is:
\[
\frac{5}{8}
\]

### Problem 24:
\[
6 \times \frac{7}{8}
\]

Here, think of 6 as a fraction:
\[
\frac{6}{1} \times \frac{7}{8}
\]

Now multiply the numerators and denominators:
\[
\frac{6 \times 7}{1 \times 8} = \frac{42}{8}
\]

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
\[
\frac{42 \div 2}{8 \div 2} = \frac{21}{4}
\]

This can be written as a mixed number:
\[
5 \frac{1}{4}
\]

So, the answer is:
\[
5 \frac{1}{4}
\]
