Answer:

The original fraction would have to be greater than 1/2 because when dividing fractions we follow the rule of keep-change-flip which means we will keep the first fraction-change the sign of the problem to multiplicaiton-flip the second fraction.  If our answer is less than 1/2, when we complete the rule, our answer would be lesson than one.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing fractions will always follow the rule of keep-change-flip, which means we will keep the first fraction-change the sign from division to multiplication - flip the second fraction.  In the case of dividing by 1/2, we would actually end of multiplying by 2.  So, if our fraction was more than 1/2, for example 3/4, we would get the following problem:  3/4 x 2/1, or 6/4 which is 1 1/2.  However, if our fraction was lesson than 1/2, for example 1/8, we would get the following problem:  1/8 x 2/1 = 2/8 or 1/4.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:scales percent error=3.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

P ercent error = Experimental value - Theoretical value /Theoretical value  x 100

Theoretical value = 6255 grams

Experimental value ( use of scale ) = 6475grams

Percent error =(6475- 6255)grams / 6255grams x 100
