Question #035b4

Answer 1

`1/4` cup

Explanation:

There are two ways to express something divided by 2.

We can use division :

`1/2 div 2" is the same as " 1/2 div 2/1`

Use the method of dividing by a fraction `rarr " x by the reciprocal"`

`1/2 div 2/1 = 1/2 xx 1/2`

=`1/4`

We can use multiplication.

"A half of something is written as `1/2 xx ...`

"A half of a half" is `1/2 xx 1/2`

=`1/4`
