16*87.5 = 1400
One half one half would be equal to 8 sixteenths, and 7 is less than eight, thusly
56 of them.
(1/2) / (1/16) = (1/2) * (16/1) division equals multiplication by the inverse and the inverse of 1/16 is 16/1.= 16/2 = 8Another way to look at it is: 16 sixteenths make one. So half of them make a half ie 8 sixteenths make a half.
seven sixteenths

=(1/2)/(3/16) = 0.09375
five sixteenths
4 and 18 over 32
Half of 3/16 is 3/32.
2 1/2 + 5/16 = 2 13/16 or two and thirteen sixteenths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 2.8125.
