Solve 31/2*1/2=31/4

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

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.

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

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$2\left(6+1\right)\times \frac{1}{2}=3\times 4+1$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$2\times 7\times \frac{1}{2}=3\times 4+1$$

Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.

$$14\times \frac{1}{2}=3\times 4+1$$

Multiply 14 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{14}{2}.

$$\frac{14}{2}=3\times 4+1$$

Divide 14 by 2 to get 7.

$$7=3\times 4+1$$

Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$7=12+1$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$7=13$$

Compare 7 and 13.

$$\text{false}$$
