Question

Jamie divide 8 by 1/2 and then it multiply that answer by 1/4 what was her final answer?

Answer 1

The final answer is 4

Solution:

Given that Jamie divided 8 by $\frac{1}{2}$ and then it multiply that answer by $\frac{1}{4}$

To find: final answer

Let us first divide 8 by $\frac{1}{2}$

$\rightarrow \frac{8}{\frac{1}{2}}$

Since there is a fraction in the denominator in this case, we invert the fraction in the denominator and multiply it by the number in the numerator

$\rightarrow 8 \times \frac{2}{1} = 16$

Then she multiplied this answer by $\frac{1}{4}$

Now multiply 16 with $\frac{1}{4}$

$\rightarrow 16 \times \frac{1}{4} = 4$

Thus her final answer is 4
