Answer:

it is equal

Explanation:

since whenever you divide fractions basically the number on the right gets reciprocated and the division sign changes to a multiplication sign,

For example 2÷4 = 2 × 1/4

in this question we have

1/2 × 1/4 and 1/2 ÷4

4 is on the right so we reciprocate it

hence

1/2 x 1/4 = 1/2 × 1/4

Answer:It is relates because 1/4 is the reciprocal of 4 so if you multiply by the reciprocal it will be the same answer as dividing by the first number.
