A multiplication equation with 1/2 as a factor is 8 times 1/2 = 4, which demonstrates that when you cut 8 apples in half, you get 4 apples (since each apple is now in two halves).

To write a multiplication equation with 1/2 as a factor, let us consider the scenario provided - 8 apples cut in half. Multiplying the number of apples by 1/2 (the factor we're focusing on) will give us the number of apple halves. Thus the multiplication equation is:
8 times 1/2 = 4
This indicates that when you multiply 8 (the whole apples) by 1/2, you end up with 4, which is the total number of halves from the 8 whole apples. To comprehend this better, recall that multiplying by 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2.

To write a multiplication equation with 2 1 ​ as a factor, we can set up the equation 8 = 2 1 ​ × 16 , which represents the total number of halves in 8 apples. This shows that there are 16 half pieces when cutting 8 apples in half. Thus, we verify how fractions can represent parts of a whole.
