Question

Is 6x 2/8 the same as 6 x 1/8?

Answer 1

No
6×$\frac{2}{8}$=$\frac{3}{2}$ or 1.5
More: 6×$\frac{1}{4}$=3×$\frac{1}{2}$=$\frac{3}{2}$
6×$\frac{1}{8}$=$\frac{x3}{4}$ or 0.75
More: 3×$\frac{1}{4}$=$\frac{3}{4}$
Both are different.

Answer 2

No,because 6 x 2/8=12/8 or 1 8/12=1 2/3,but 12 x 1/8 is the same as
6 x 2/8.
