Say you have the fraction 1/2 to the power of 2, so 1/2^2. You could also write this down as: 1/2*(times)1/2 or 0,5*0,5. Whenever you multiply by a number smaller than one, the outcome will get smaller. Whenever you multiply by a number larger than one, the outcome will be larger.

Ok I'm doing home work and need to show why 1/2 of 60 is not the same as 1/2 of 24 please help! It will give you 24 points.
Tems11 [23]
Simple,

1/2 of 60

re-write it as 0.5 of 60 aka 0.5*60

which is 0.5*60=30

Do the same with 1/2 of 24.

0.5 of 24

0.5*24=12.

Thus, it's not the same because they are different numbers and different number give you different answers.
