(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.
56 of them.
16*87.5 = 1400
something
One half one half would be equal to 8 sixteenths, and 7 is less than eight, thusly
4.4 sixteenths.4.4 sixteenths.4.4 sixteenths.4.4 sixteenths.
One-half is equal to eight sixteenths. This is because when you convert one-half into sixteenths, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 8, resulting in 8/16. Therefore, eight sixteenths is equivalent to one-half.
56 of them.

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
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.
Three eighths is the same as six sixteenths - half of six sixteenths is three sixteenths
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.
To add one sixteenth and one half inch, first convert one half inch into sixteenths. One half inch is equal to eight sixteenths. Therefore, one sixteenth plus eight sixteenths equals nine sixteenths. Thus, one sixteenth plus one half inch equals nine sixteenths.
