Question

Which of the following expressions correctly compares 1/2 and 34?

A. 1/2 > 34
B. 1/2 < 34
C. 1/2 = 34
D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct expression that compares 1/2 and 34 is 1/2 < 34, since 1/2 (or 0.5) is smaller than the number 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the following expressions correctly compares 1/2 and 34, we can evaluate each one:

• 1/2 > 34 is incorrect because 1/2, which is the same as 0.5, is much less than 34.
• 1/2 < 34 is correct because 1/2 (or 0.5) is indeed smaller than 34.
• 1/2 = 34 is incorrect because they are not equal values.
• Option D, None of the above, is not applicable since option B is correct.

Therefore, the correct comparison between 1/2 and 34 is expressed as 1/2 < 34.
