To find out how many cups of ice cream Joe used to make 8 ice cream sundaes, we need to multiply the number of sundaes by the amount of ice cream each sundae uses.
Assuming each sundae uses \( \frac{1}{2} \) cup of ice cream, we can perform the multiplication as follows:
\[
\text{Total ice cream used} = \text{Number of sundaes} \times \text{Ice cream per sundae}
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Total ice cream used} = 8 \times \frac{1}{2}
\]
To perform the multiplication, we can convert \( 8 \) into a fraction:
\[
8 = \frac{8}{1}
\]
Now, multiply the fractions:
\[
\text{Total ice cream used} = \frac{8}{1} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{8 \times 1}{1 \times 2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4
\]
Thus, Joe used \( 4 \) cups of ice cream to make 8 ice cream sundaes.
