First, come up with the equation 1/4 ÷ 1/2. Then, flip 1/2 to get 2/1, and change the division sign to a multiplication sign, to end up with 1/4 × 2/1. Finally, solve the equation

1 answer

To solve the equation 1/4 × 2/1, we can multiply the numerators and the denominators together.

The numerator becomes 1 * 2 = 2.
The denominator becomes 4 * 1 = 4.

Therefore, the result is 2/4.

However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

2 ÷ 2 = 1
4 ÷ 2 = 2

Therefore, the simplified form of 2/4 is 1/2.
