Question

Jamie divide 8 by 1/2 and then it multiply that answer by 1/4 what was her final answer?

Answer 1

The final answer is 4

Solution:

Given that Jamie divided 8 by
`(1)/(2)` and then it multiply that answer by
`(1)/(4)`

To find: final answer

Let us first divide 8 by
`(1)/(2)`

`\rightarrow (8)/((1)/(2))`

Since there is a fraction in the denominator in this case, we invert the fraction in the denominator and multiply it by the number in the numerator

`\rightarrow 8 * (2)/(1) = 16`

Then she multiplied this answer by
`(1)/(4)`

Now multiply 16 with
`(1)/(4)`

`\rightarrow 16 * (1)/(4) = 4`

Thus her final answer is 4
