The division equation one half divided by four can be solved using the fraction model by partitioning the fraction strip into two equal parts, and then each part into four equal parts. The total number of parts in the fraction strip is 8, and the fraction of the fraction strip shaded is one eighth. Therefore, the answer is four eighths, which is equal to 6.
