Question

Jade says that 8÷ 1/2 means the same thing as 1/2 of 8, so the answer is 4 do you agree

Answer 1

8 ÷ 1/2 = 16

I disagree.

Explanation:

8 ÷ 1/2

8 × 2/1

8 × 2

16

Answer 2

no

Explanation:

8÷ 1/2

Copy dot flip

8 * 2/1 = 16

Divide 8 things in half you get 16

1/2 of 8 = 1/2 * 8 = 4

Half of 8 things is 4

They are not the same
