Question

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \times + \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }$$

Verify

$\text{false}$

Solution Steps

Multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ times $\frac{1}{2}$ by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{1\times 1}{4\times 2}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction $\frac{1\times 1}{4\times 2}$.

$$\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $8$ and $3$ is $24$. Convert $\frac{1}{8}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $24$.

$$\frac{3}{24}=\frac{16}{24}$$

Compare $\frac{3}{24}$ and $\frac{16}{24}$.

$$\text{false}$$
