Well, first things first, one over eight (1/8) is basically one eighth.

So, one way of doing it is

1/8 of 4 =

= 4 ÷ 8 =

= 4/8 =

= 2/4 =

= 1/2 =

= 0.5

Confused? Well, first,

1/8 of 4 = <= First, the formula )

= 4 ÷ 8 = <= Then, we turn it into one of the operations which are simpler to use.)

= 4/8 = <= Then, we clump it back into a fraction, which is another form of division.)

= 2/4 = <= Next, we simplify it, i.e. divide both detonator and numerator by 2.)

= 1/2 = <= Or, we could've divided both by 4 instead, to make it a half.)

= 0.5 <= And now, we turn it into a decimal! Ta-da)

Hope I helped!
