Halves means cut into 2 equal pieces. If you cut all the apples into halves then you now have 2 pieces of apple where you used to have 1. And if you have 8 apples cut into 2 pieces then that is the same as: 8 (apples) x 2 (pieces of apple) = 16 halves of apple.
Try getting 8 things and cutting them half. Paper works well. Keep the halves or two pieces together. Count all 2 pieces that came from 8 things. There shouldbe 16.

16 halves
You can make 4 wholes from 8 halves.
8
It depends on the precise wording of the question.If it is "there are 8 apples and YOU take 6 how many do YOU have" then the answer is 6.If it is "there are 8 apples and 6 are taken away how many do you have" then the answer is 2.
10
16 halves
There are 16 halves in 8. This is because each whole can be divided into two halves, so when you multiply 8 (the number of wholes) by 2 (the number of halves in each whole), you get 16 halves.
You can make 4 wholes from 8 halves.
8
17 of them.
8 apples
It depends on the precise wording of the question.If it is "there are 8 apples and YOU take 6 how many do YOU have" then the answer is 6.If it is "there are 8 apples and 6 are taken away how many do you have" then the answer is 2.
12/8 is the same as 8/8 plus 4/8 which is one and a half apples.
There are 8 halves in 4.4 divided by 12 is 1/3.
8
It is: 10/8 = 1.25 apples each
