Answer 1

Answer:

A) 1/2 divided by 1/8 =4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

You will have 4 pieces.

Explanation

Suppose, the number of pieces is $x$

As each piece must be $\frac{1}{8}$ of a square and you have initially $\frac{1}{2}$ of a square, so the equation will be.....

$\frac{1}{8}x= \frac{1}{2}\\ \\ x= \frac{1}{2}*8 = 4$

So, you will have 4 pieces.
