Here are the solutions for both problems:

First problem:

Simplify the second fraction.
$\frac{16}{2} = 8$
Multiply the first fraction by the simplified second fraction.
$\frac{16}{Y} \times 8 = \frac{16 \times 8}{Y} = \frac{128}{Y}$
The final answer for the first problem is $\boxed{\frac{128}{Y}}$ .

Second problem:
Simplify the first fraction.
$\frac{8}{18} = \frac{8 \div 2}{18 \div 2} = \frac{4}{9}$
Simplify the second fraction.
$\frac{6}{9} = \frac{6 \div 3}{9 \div 3} = \frac{2}{3}$
Multiply the simplified fractions.
$\frac{4}{9} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4 \times 2}{9 \times 3} = \frac{8}{27}$
The final answer for the second problem is $\boxed{\frac{8}{27}}$ .
