Question

Which expression has a value greater than 1/2?A. 1/2 x 4/5B. 1/2 x 4/4C. 1/2 x 5/5D. 1/2 x 5/4

Answer 1

Given:

The digit given is 1/2.

To find:

Check which expression has a value greater than 1/2.

Explanation:

To find which term is greater than 1/2, let's simplify each expression:

(A)

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{4}{5}=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$

Which is less than 1/2.

(B)

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{4}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\times1=\frac{1}{2}$

Which is equal to 1/2.

(C)

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{1}{2}\times1=\frac{1}{2}$

Which is equal to 1/2.

(D)

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{4}=\frac{5}{8}=0.625$

Which is greater than 1/2.

Final answer:

Hence, the correct expression which has a value greater than 1/2 is:

$(D)\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{4}$
