Question

Please answer the following questions: 1. 1/2*8= 2. 1/4*4= 3. 1/3*6=

Answer 1

Hey there!

When we multiply fractions and whole numbers, we simply take that whole number and put it over them, and just multiply across. That gives us:

$\frac{1}{2}x*8 = \frac{8}{2} = 4$

Notice how it's four, because when we have a fraction, we divide. 8 divided by 2 equals four. Next:

$\frac{1}{4} *4 = \frac{4}{4} = 1$

4/4 is equal to 1 because 4 divided by 4 is one. 4 goes into 4 once. Next, we have:

$\frac{1}{3}*6 = \frac{6}{3} = 2$

That's because 6/3 = 2.

Hope this helps!
