As a 92 year old, the answer was simple 1/16
-
Got it mentally 1/16. Just easy fractions. Thanks for the fun.
-
c) 1/16 As I could say, not exactly problem for "brute force" of calculator itself...
-
My maths is poor, but just did it 4 div by 8 = 0.5 over 2 x 4 = 8, 0.5 over 8= 1 over 16
-
1/16 in my head
-
I didn't think you could drag this out nearly as long as you did. You proved me grossly wrong. 🙄
-
First calculate then separate and finally multiply: (1) 4 ÷ 8 = ½ (2) 2 × 4 = 8 (3) [(½)/1] × (⅛) (4) = ½ × ⅛ (5) = 1/16. That's all there is to it.
-
1/2 / 8/1 => 1/2 x 1/8 = 1/16
-
The problem could also have been expressed as (4x(1/8))/(2x4). Looked at that way you could cancel out the 4 from numerator and denominator, leaving you with (1/8)/2 which is equal to 1/16.
-
Solved in my head at the thumbnail, my answer is c) 1/16. First, we evaluate both the numerator and the denominator as though they had explicit parentheses. 4/8 = 1 / 2. 2 * 4 = 8. Then, calculate the fraction as a whole, 1/2 / 8 = 1/16.
-
(4÷8)/(2×4) = 1/2 × 1/8 = 1/16

Thank you for your videos. At 70,I use them to keep my brain functioning at its best
-
I have always been frustrated mathematician. Math, especially algebra, made no sense to me. I love watching your videos and have learned some of the math methods I missed in high school. Thanks.
-
So, written as a line, it goes: {(4/8)/(2x4)} =1/16. This way you don't have to assume the order of operations, just follow P.E.M.D.A.S. left to right paying attention to P. and the fraction bar defines its own order.
-
1/16. Simple mental arithmetic he said humbly.
-
Yes multiple and divided before adding and subtracting
-
As an 80 year old I got 1/16 without a calculator!
-
I’m so glad I got it right. Did it by looking at the thumbnail and then went into the video. I’m very impressed with myself. I’m not a confident maths person.
-
I solved it correctly in my head in 10 seconds then watched until the end and learned something. Thank you. I am not capable of dragging something out like you do though. I learn better fast
-
1/16. I REALLY solved it on paper before you gave the answer!! I am 70 and I use your channel to try to keep my brain going strong!! 😁⭐ Thanks, Mr YouTube Math Man!!!
