Answer:

h=264

Step by step explanation:

As a first step let's look at how to convert mixed numbers to fractions:


a(b)/(c)=((a\cdot c)+b)/(c)

Solve for h:


(1)/(2)h=16(1)/(2)\cdot8

Convert the mixed number to a fraction:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)h=((16\cdot2)+1)/(2)\cdot8 \\ (1)/(2)h=(33)/(2)\cdot8 \\ (1)/(2)h=(264)/(2) \\ (1)/(2)h=132 \\ \end{gathered}

Then, by inverse operations to solve equations, we can solve for h by multiplying by 2 on both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} 2\cdot(1)/(2)h=132\cdot2 \\ h=264 \end{gathered}
