The final answer is 4.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the operation

We need to find one-half of eight, which means we will multiply 8 by $\frac{1}{2}$.

  1. Perform the multiplication

Now we perform the multiplication:

$$ 8 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{8}{2} $$

  1. Simplify the fraction

Next, we simplify $\frac{8}{2}$:

$$ \frac{8}{2} = 4 $$

The final answer is 4.

More Information

Finding one-half of a number is the same as dividing that number by 2. In this case, dividing 8 by 2 gives us 4. This principle can be applied to any number to find its half.

Tips

One common mistake is to add instead of multiplying. Make sure to understand that "one-half of" implies multiplying by $\frac{1}{2}$, not adding.
