Question

2/4x1/2= what does it equal

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(2/4, 1/2) = 4

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

`((2)/(4) +(1)/(1))+((1)/(2) +(2)/(2) )= ?`

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

`(2)/(4) +(2)/(4)=?`

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:
`(2+2)/(4)=(4)/(4)`

Since 4 divided by 4 equals 1 then,

`(4)/(4)=1`

Therefore:

`(2)/(4) +(1)/(2) =1`

Answer 2

0.25
