Question

2/4x1/2= what does it equal

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(2/4, 1/2) = 4

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

$(\frac{2}{4} +\frac{1}{1})+(\frac{1}{2} +\frac{2}{2} )= ?$

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

$\frac{2}{4} +\frac{2}{4}=?$

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then: $\frac{2+2}{4}=\frac{4}{4}$

Since 4 divided by 4 equals 1 then,

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

Therefore:

$\frac{2}{4} +\frac{1}{2} =1$
