Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{\left(2\times 4+1\right)\times 2}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$\frac{\left(8+1\right)\times 2}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Add 8 and 1 to get 9.

$$\frac{9\times 2}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Multiply 9 and 2 to get 18.

$$\frac{18}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{18}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{9}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Compare \frac{9}{2} and \frac{3}{2}.

$$\text{false}$$
