Q. \(\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\).

Answer

Multiply numerators and denominators: \( \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8} \)

Detailed Explanation

Solution

  1. Write the expression to evaluate:\( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \)
  2. Use the rule for multiplying fractions: multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.Numerator: \(1 \times 1 \times 1 = 1\)Denominator: \(2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8\)

    So the product is \(\frac{1}{8}\).

  3. Alternative (stepwise) method: multiply two at a time.\( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} \)Then \( \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} \).
  4. Check for simplification: \(\frac{1}{8}\) has numerator 1, so it is already in lowest terms.
  5. Optional decimal form: \(\frac{1}{8} = 0.125\).

Final answer: \(\frac{1}{8}\) (which equals 0.125).

Arithmetic FAQs

What is the product of \( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \)?

The product is \( \frac{1}{8} \). Multiply numerators: \(1\cdot1\cdot1=1\) and denominators: \(2\cdot2\cdot2=8\). .

How do I write this with exponents?.

It's \( \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{8} \), since exponent 3 means multiply the base three times..

What is the decimal form?

\( \frac{1}{8} = 0.125 \)..

What is the percentage form?

\(0.125 = 12.5\%\).

How can I understand it with a word problem?\n

Half of a half of a half equals one-eighth. Example: half of \(1\) is \(0.50\), half of that is \(0.25\), half again is \(0.125\)..

Can I simplify or cancel before multiplying?

Can I simplify or cancel before multiplying?

What is the reciprocal of the result?

The reciprocal of \( \frac{1}{8} \) is \(8\)..

Does the order of multiplication matter?

No. Multiplication is commutative, so any order gives \( \frac{1}{8} \).
