Question
$\frac{2}{3}$ of 8 is same as $\frac{2}{3}\div8$
✓
Answer
False.
Solution:
$\frac{2}{3}\text{of}\ 8=\frac{2}{3}\times8=\frac{16}{3}$
$\frac{2}{3}+8=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2}{24}$
$\therefore\frac{2}{3}\text{of}\ 8\neq\frac{2}{3}+8$
Hence, $\frac{2}{3}$ of 8 is not same as $\frac{2}{3}+8$
Solution:
$\frac{2}{3}\text{of}\ 8=\frac{2}{3}\times8=\frac{16}{3}$
$\frac{2}{3}+8=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2}{24}$
$\therefore\frac{2}{3}\text{of}\ 8\neq\frac{2}{3}+8$
Hence, $\frac{2}{3}$ of 8 is not same as $\frac{2}{3}+8$
