To evaluate the expression \( \frac{x}{2y} \) when \( x = 8 \) and \( y = 1 \):

  1. Substitute the values of \( x \) and \( y \) into the expression:

\[ \frac{8}{2 \cdot 1} \]

  1. Calculate the denominator:

\[ 2 \cdot 1 = 2 \]

  1. Now, substitute back into the expression:

\[ \frac{8}{2} = 4 \]

So, the value of the expression when \( x = 8 \) and \( y = 1 \) is 4.
