(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 = 8
Another way to look at it is: 16 sixteenths make one. So half of them make a half ie 8 sixteenths make a half.

One half one half would be equal to 8 sixteenths, and 7 is less than eight, thusly
56 of them.
16
Eight sixteenths can be simplified to one half, as eight divided by sixteen equals one half. In terms of quarters, one half is equivalent to two quarters. Therefore, there are two quarters in eight sixteenths.
8/16 = 1/2
Three eighths is the same as six sixteenths - half of six sixteenths is three sixteenths
16 sixteenths equal one whole. So 16/2 = 8 sixteenths = half a whole.
16 sixteenths equal one whole. So 16/2 = 8 sixteenths = half a whole.
To find half of 15 sixteenths, you first divide 15 by 2 to get 7.5. Then, you divide 16 by 2 to get 8. Therefore, half of 15 sixteenths is 7.5 eighths.
16*87.5 = 1400
Instead of "a half", write "eight sixteenths". That doesn't change the value of any numbers, but it makes it a lot easier to subtract the three sixteenths from the eight sixteenths.
