Question

What's 2/4 x 1/3? And pls provide work on how u got the answer.

Answer 1

`(2)/(4)=(2:2)/(4:2)=(1)/(2)\\\\(2)/(4)*(1)/(3)=(1)/(2)*(1)/(3)=(1*1)/(2*3)=\boxed{(1)/(6)}`

Answer 2

just multiply the top number by the top number and the bottom numbers by the bottom numbers so


2/4 times 1/3=(2 times 1)/(4 times 3)=2/12

so to simplify, we find the ones exg 4/8=1/2 because 1/2 times 4/4=4/8 and 4/4 cancels out so

2/12=2/2 times 1/6
=1/6
