what times 1/2 = 4/12

Answer 1

1/2 is equivalent to 6/12 (by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 6).

So,
1/2 = 6/12

Now, we can rewrite the equation as:

6/12 x ? = 4/12

To find the missing number, we can cross-multiply:

6 x 4 = 24 and 12 x ? = 24

So, ? = 24/12 = 2

Therefore,

1/2 x 2 = 4/12 or 0.5 x 2 = 0.333... or 1/3
