Let's pay close attention to the given rate.
\begin{gathered}
\dfrac{16\text{ limes}}{\textcolor{lightblue}{\boxed{\phantom{\dfrac{2}{2}\textcolor{black}{2}}\phantom{\dfrac{2}{2}}} \text{ bags}}{\phantom{\text{-}}}}
=
\dfrac{40\text{ limes}} {\stackrel{\phantom{1}}{\small{5\text{ bags}}}}
\end{gathered}
We need to find the number that we can multiply 40 by to get 16.
40* ? =16
We multiply 40 by 25 to get 16, so we will also multiply 5 by 25 to find an equivalent rate.

Multiplying by a Fraction
We want to multiply 5 by 25. To do so, we will move the left factor to the numerator and multiply. Then, let's simplify the result.
