This is the same as 1/2 x 1/4= 1/8
Remember when you are dividing fractions you want to take the reciprocal of the number you are dividing by and multiply it out.

First, you may want to put into an equation the words of your sentense.
1/2 /4 = x
1/2 / 4/1 = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
If you put into a calculator the decimal equivilent of 1/2, which is 0.5 and divide it by 4, you will get 0.125 which is the decimal equivilent of 1/8.
