Answer: 5 divided by 1/2 is 10
Explanation:
5 x (1/2) = 10/1 = 10
Multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction is the same as dividing two fractions. The first step is to get the reciprocal of the second fraction (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 1/ 2 is 2/ 1 ). Multiply the two numerators after that. Then add the two denominators together.
To put it another way, five divided by one-half equals 10.
