Hint:

$\sf\Huge\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}}=a \div \frac{b}{c}=a\times \frac{c}{b}=\frac{ac}{b}$

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

$$\Large -8 \div -\frac{1}{2}$$

$$\Large -\frac{8}{1} \div -\frac{1}{2}$$

$$\Large -\frac{8}{1} \times -\frac{2}{1} = ??$$

notice how -8 turned into -8/1
also how I flipped the second fraction and multiplied
