The product of 1/2 multiplied by 1/2 is 1/4, which is less than 1/2. Therefore, when 1/2 is multiplied by 1/2, the result is not greater than 1/2.
When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators (the top numbers) to get the new numerator and the denominators (the bottom numbers) to get the new denominator. In this case, when we multiply 1/2 by 1/2, we multiply 1 (numerator) by 1 (numerator) to get 1 as the new numerator and 2 (denominator) by 2 (denominator) to get 4 as the new denominator. So, 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4.
When comparing 1/4 and 1/2, we can easily see that 1/4 is less than 1/2. Hence, the product of 1/2 times 1/2 is not greater than 1/2 - it is, in fact, less than 1/2. So, the answer is no.

Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Carson had x number of apples to start with.
He gave 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has (2/3)x apples left.
He gave 1/2 of what was left to Nikki. Now Carson has (1/2)(2/3)x = (2/6)x = (1/3)x apples.
On the way home, he dropped 1/4, so he has 3/4 of the last amount he had, and the number is 9.
(3/4) * (1/3)x = 9
3/12 x = 9
1/4 x = 9
x = 36
Answer: He picked 36 apples.
Check:
Start with 36 apples.
Give 1/3 to Nathan. Now Carson has 24 apples.
Give 1/2 to Nikki. Now Carson has 12 apples.
Drop 1/4. 1/4 of 12 is 3. 12 - 3 = 9.
Hew only had 9 apples left, so 36 is correct.
Answer:
36 apples
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1 = he dropped 1/4 and was left with 9
Finding 1/3 one third of 9 = 3.
Then 9 +3 = 12
Step 2 He parted with 1/2 and was left with 12
12x2=24
Step 3 He parted with 1/3 and was left with 24
= 12+ 12 + 12 = 36 Where 1/3 of 36 = 24
Answer = 36
