Certainly! Let's solve the expression step-by-step.

Given:
[tex]\[ -48a \div 8 \][/tex]
where [tex]\( a = 1 \)[/tex].

1. Substitute [tex]\( a = 1 \)[/tex] into the expression:
[tex]\[ -48 \cdot 1 \div 8 \][/tex]

2. Next, we perform the multiplication first:
[tex]\[ -48 \cdot 1 = -48 \][/tex]

3. Now, we need to divide the result by 8:
[tex]\[ -48 \div 8 \][/tex]

4. Perform the division:
[tex]\[ -48 \div 8 = -6.0 \][/tex]

So, the answer in simplest form is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{-6.0} \][/tex]
