Answer 1

To find the quotient of \(8\) divided by \(\frac{1}{2}\), we can rewrite the division as a multiplication by the reciprocal:

\[
8 \div \frac{1}{2} = 8 \times 2
\]

Now, calculate \(8 \times 2\):

\[
8 \times 2 = 16
\]

So, the quotient of \(8\) divided by \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \(16\).

The correct answer is **16**.
