Question

What is 1/2 ÷ 1/2? please show work. (for my sister)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Dividing by a fraction is the equivalent of multiplying by the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator) so 1/2 ÷ 1/2 is the same as 1/2 * 2/1

`(1)/(2) * (2)/(1)` can be solved as
`(1*2)/(2*1)`

That is 2/2, also known as 1

Answer 2

Explanation:

1/2 ÷ 1/2

= 1/2 x 2/1

= 1x2 ÷ 2x1

= 2/2

= 1
