    Number of scoops = 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given,

    Talib's bird feeder can hold 1/2 cup of birdseed

    Talib wants to fill this 1/2 cup of birdseed with a scoop that holds 1/16 of a cup.

    here we can say,

    Volume of bird feeder = 1/2 cup of birdseed

    Volume of scoop = 1/16 cup of birdseed

    So, number of scoops required to fill birdseed will be given by:

    Number of scoops = Volume of bird feeder / volume of scoop

    Number of scoops = 1/2 cup / 1/16 cup = (1/2) / (1/16)

    Number of scoops = (1/2) * (16/1) = 8

    Hence number of scoops required is 8.
