To determine how many dice Victoria needs to stack to make a tower that is 8 inches tall, we can use the height of each die.
Each die is \( \frac{1}{2} \) inch tall. We want to find out how many of these dice (let's denote this number as \( n \)) need to be stacked to reach a height of 8 inches.
We can set up the equation:
\[
n \times \frac{1}{2} = 8
\]
To solve for \( n \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
\[
n = 8 \times 2
\]
\[
n = 16
\]
So, Victoria needs to stack **16 dice** to make a tower that is 8 inches tall.
