Recall or look up that "1 atm"1 atm == "101325 Pa"101325 Pa.

This means that multiplying by "1 atm"/"101325 Pa"1 atm101325 Pa merely converts units, and does not change the validity of your answer.

So, what we have is:

16.00 cancel"kPa" xx (1000 cancel"Pa")/cancel"1 kPa" xx "1 atm"/(101325 cancel"Pa")

= color(blue)("0.1579 atm") to 4 sig figs.
