To find the quotient of [tex]\( 8 \div 0.5 \)[/tex], you can think of it as how many times 0.5 can fit into 8.

First, observe that dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 0.5 is 2 because [tex]\( \frac{1}{0.5} = 2 \)[/tex].

Thus:

[tex]\[ 8 \div 0.5 = 8 \times 2 \][/tex]

Next, perform the multiplication:

[tex]\[ 8 \times 2 = 16 \][/tex]

So, the quotient is 16.
