Question

Corey and Jassica each multiplied 1/2 times 5/2. Corey got 6/4 and Jassica got 5/4. Which student found the cutest reject answer. Explain

Answer 1

Simple all we have to do is Convert the fractions into decimals. Like so.

1/2  is just a different way of saying 1 ÷ 2. The Answer?  = .5
5/2 is just a different way of saying  5 ÷ 2. The Answer?  = 2.5

So what is 2.5 × .5 .

The answer is 1.25.
We are not done yet, we still have to convert our answer into a fraction.

1.25  is the same as 1 and 1/4.

WAIT! Were are still not done. 

We need to change 1 and 1/4 into a mixed number.

1 = 4/4 
1/4 + 4/4 = 5/4.

Now we are done. 

The student that got the cutest reject answer is  COREY!  Jesica, got the answer correct. 

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

My bad nobody is correct because the answer would equal 5/24
5/24 is in simplest form 

The fraction 5/24 is alread in the simplest form, so it isn't possible to reduce it any further.
This is a PROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (5) is smaller than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (24).
The fraction 5/24 is equal to 5÷24 and can also be expressed in decimal form as 0.208333.
