I believe that the answer to 4 * 1/2 is .0625. You start with .50, as .50=1/2. Multiply .50 by .50, you get .25
Multiply .25 by .50, you get .125.
Multiply .125 by .50, you get .0625.
At that point, you've multiplied 4 times, so your answer should be .0625.
Try this on a calculator and see how it works.
============================
Another opinion:
If someone gives you 1/2 dollar four times, you have 2 dollars.
Here's a more formal way to think about it:
-- Multiplication is the same in either direction, so you could write the same question as "1 half times 4".
-- In math or arithmetic word problems, "times" can usually be changed to "of".
When you do that, the question becomes "What is 1 half of 4 ?"
Can you answer it now ?
