(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

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.
56 of them.
16
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.
