Question

Corey and Jassica each multiplied 1/2 times 5/2. Corey got 6/4 and Jassica got 5/4. Which student found the cutest reject answer. Explain

Answer 1

My bad nobody is correct because the answer would equal 5/24
5/24 is in simplest form

The fraction 5/24 is alread in the simplest form, so it isn't possible to reduce it any further.
This is a PROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (5) is smaller than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (24).
The fraction 5/24 is equal to 5÷24 and can also be expressed in decimal form as 0.208333.

Answer 2

Simple all we have to do is Convert the fractions into decimals. Like so.

1/2 is just a different way of saying 1 ÷ 2. The Answer? = .5
5/2 is just a different way of saying 5 ÷ 2. The Answer? = 2.5

So what is 2.5 × .5 .

The answer is 1.25.
We are not done yet, we still have to convert our answer into a fraction.

1.25 is the same as 1 and 1/4.

WAIT! Were are still not done.

We need to change 1 and 1/4 into a mixed number.

1 = 4/4
1/4 + 4/4 = 5/4.

Now we are done.

The student that got the cutest reject answer is COREY! Jesica, got the answer correct.

Hope this helps.
