what times 1/2 = 4/12
1/2 is equivalent to 6/12 (by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 6).
So,
1/2 = 6/12
Now, we can rewrite the equation as:
6/12 x ? = 4/12
To find the missing number, we can cross-multiply:
6 x 4 = 24 and 12 x ? = 24
So, ? = 24/12 = 2
Therefore,
1/2 x 2 = 4/12 or 0.5 x 2 = 0.333... or 1/3
To find the value of "times 1/2" that equals 4/12, you can set up an equation and solve for the missing value.
Let's denote the unknown value as x. The equation can be constructed as follows:
1/2 * x = 4/12
To solve this equation, we can start by multiplying both sides by 2:
1/2 * 2 * x = (4/12) * 2
Simplifying further:
x = (4/12) * 2
Next, we can simplify the right side of the equation:
x = (4/12) * (2/1)
Multiplying the numerators:
x = (4 * 2) / (12 * 1)
x = 8 / 12
Finally, we can simplify the fraction:
x = 2/3
Therefore, "times 1/2" is equal to 2/3 when the result is 4/12.
