Solve 1/2*1/4+1/2*1/2

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{8}=0.375$$

Solution Steps

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. Convert \frac{1}{8} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 8.

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

Since \frac{1}{8} and \frac{2}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 1 and 2 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2 ^ {3}} = 0.375$$
