Jade says that 8 divided by ½ means the same thing as ½ of 8, so the answer is 4. Do you agree with her? Why or why not?

Answer:

Disagree because division isn't a commutative operation meaning you cant move the numbers around and get the same result. Only addition and multiplication are commutative operations.

Explanation:

8 / 0.5 = 16

0.5 / 8 = 0.625
