During meiosis a diploid cell divides to become a haploid cell. Just remember haploid sound like half.
16/2 = 8

After meiosis (only in sex cells), 8. In mitosis, however (happens in all other body cells), it would still be 16.
The point of meiosis is to prepare sex cells for combining (fertilization). If the number of chromosomes were not divided in half, when the egg and sperm combined there would be double the original number ...not good.

during meosis, parent cells' chromosomes are halved to create gametes (or sex cells)
so that means 8 chromosomes

Half as many chromosomes, i.e. 8 if everything goes well.
