Answer:

Greater than 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Conclusion is that the original fraction was greater than 1/2.

Really, for example let the original fraction be 4/3, it is greater than 1/2 and we will divide it by 1/2 and get

4/3 ➗ 1/2 = 4/3 x 2/1

=4 x 2

3x 1

=8/3

=2 1/3

We can see that the result is mixed number
