I'm eight

A child came into class today and told me that it was their birthday and that they had turned eight years old. This got me thinking about all the different ways we could make eight using our mathematical operations.

I'm sure most of you could do several for addition or subtraction like 6 + 2 = 8 or 10 - 2 = 8. However, I wonder how many of you can use multiplication, division or even apply the fraction work we have doing lately to get the answer eight.

Blog the most creative ways you can think of making eight using multiplication, division or your knowledge of fractions.
