Explain in words the difference between finding 5 × 1 2 and finding 5 ÷ 1 2 . Calculate both answers and compare.

The given expressions are: 5 × 1 2 ...........(i) And, 5 ÷ 1 2 ..........(ii) The whole number and the fraction involved in both the expression are the same, the only change is in the operation between them. On simplifying (i), we get 5 × 1 2 = 5 1 × 1 2 = 5 × 1 1 × 2 = 5 2 On simplifying (ii), we get 5 ÷ 1 2 = 5 1 × 2 1 = 5 × 2 1 × 1 = 10 On comparing the value of both the expressions, we get 5 × 1 2 < 5 ÷ 1 2
