Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This sentence isn't always true.
- here is a counter example :
The trick is to use fractional numbers .
- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ×[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
let's analyse this example :
- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]\geq[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex][tex]\geq[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
1/2=0.5 and 1/4=0.25 but 1/8=0.125
0.125<0.25<0.5
- here is another example : (1/2)*(1/3)=1/6
- the same thing : 1/6<1/3<1/2
