An interest rate of 8% compounded semi-annually is how many percent if compounded quarterly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The multiplicative semi-annual growth multiplicative factor is   = 1.04.


Hence, the multiplicative quarter-annual growth factor is   = 1.019804.


It means that the nominal annual percentage rate is  0.019804*4 = 0.079216 = 7.9216%  if compounded quarterly.


You may round it in any way you want.

Solved.
