Question

-2/4 greater than -1/2

Answer 1

To compare \(-\frac{2}{4}\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\), we can simplify \(-\frac{2}{4}\):

\[
-\frac{2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}
\]

Now that we know:

\[
-\frac{2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}
\]

We see that \(-\frac{2}{4}\) is not greater than \(-\frac{1}{2}\); they are equal. Therefore, the statement \(-\frac{2}{4}\) is greater than \(-\frac{1}{2}\) is false.
