Question

What's 2/4 x 1/3? And pls provide work on how u got the answer.

Answer 1

just multiply the top number by the top number and the bottom numbers by the bottom numbers so


2/4 times 1/3=(2 times 1)/(4 times 3)=2/12

so to simplify, we find the ones exg 4/8=1/2 because 1/2 times 4/4=4/8 and 4/4 cancels out so

2/12=2/2 times 1/6
=1/6

Answer 2

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{2:2}{4:2}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{2}{4}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1\times1}{2\times3}=\boxed{\frac{1}{6}}$
