Solve 1/4+1/2div4/2

$$\frac { 1 } { 4 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } \div \frac { 4 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Solution Steps

Divide \frac{1}{2} by \frac{4}{2} by multiplying \frac{1}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{4}{2}.

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

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+1}{4}$$

Add 1 and 1 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
