They key point to note is that "of" in mathematics means "multiplied by." For example, 6 lots of 4 means 6x4. Thus "one eighth of half" can be written as 1/8 x1/2. Multiplying these two fractions together gives 1/16. Thus we need to know what weight is 1/16 of a pound. An ounce is 1/16 of a pound, thus the answer to the question is one ounce.
