To divide -2 by one half, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: Multiply the whole number (-2) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (0). In this case, -2 multiplied by 2 plus 0 equals -4.

2. Divide the numerator by the denominator: To divide -4 by 1/2, you can multiply -4 by the reciprocal of 1/2. The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1.

-4 * (2/1) = -8/1 = -8

Therefore, -2 divided by one half equals -8.
