Answer:

A)

Explanation:

(1/2)/2 = 1/4 because

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

In essence, to solve this equation, you must:

1) Flip the second fraction (or put the whole number under 1).

2) Change the divide sign into the multiply sign.

3) Multiply across.

A) 1/4 x 2 = 1/2 is your answer choice, for it is the opposite of the question.
