Answer:
Let us use a real life situation for example.
Imagine a tasty pizza in front of you. Your parents decide to cut half for themselves, so you're left with 1/2 of the pizza.
Now imagine you have 7 siblings, and you want to share the pizza with everyone. Hence, to find how much pizza the siblings get, you take
[tex] \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
which equals to 7/16, as your siblings took 7/16 of the entire pizza.
