Question

Which expression has a value greater than 1/2?A. 1/2 x 4/5B. 1/2 x 4/4C. 1/2 x 5/5D. 1/2 x 5/4

Answer 1

Given:

The digit given is 1/2.

To find:

Check which expression has a value greater than 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which term is greater than 1/2, let's simplify each expression:

(A)

`(1)/(2)*(4)/(5)=(2)/(5)=0.4`

Which is less than 1/2.

(B)

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

Which is equal to 1/2.

(C)

`(1)/(2)*(5)/(5)=(1)/(2)*1=(1)/(2)`

Which is equal to 1/2.

(D)

`(1)/(2)*(5)/(4)=(5)/(8)=0.625`

Which is greater than 1/2.

Final answer:

Hence, the correct expression which has a value greater than 1/2 is:

`(D)(1)/(2)*(5)/(4)`
