Answer:

4 butter dishes

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many butter dishes the restaurant filled, calculate how many eighths go into a half.

To do this, divide one half by an eighth:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{2} \div \dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

When dividing fractions, flip the second fraction (make the numerator the denominator, and the denominator the numerator) then multiply it by the first fraction:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{8}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1 \times 8}{2 \times1}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies 4[/tex]

Therefore, the restaurant filled 4 butter dishes.
