This is a division problem. 
Two loaves divided by 12 people, or

$ \dfrac{2 ~loaves}{12~people} $

$= 0.1666... \dfrac{loaf}{person} $

Rounded off to the nearest hundredth, each person receives this portion of a loaf:

$= 0.17$

0.17 isn't one of the choices.

mathstudent55 · Answer

The closest one is 0.16, so I'd use that one.
