6. What is the product of 4 and \( \frac{4}{8} \) ? Write another expression that is equal to the product of 4 and \( \frac{4}{8} \).

The product of 4 and \( \frac{4}{8} \) is calculated by multiplying them, which gives you \( 4 \times \frac{4}{8} = \frac{16}{8} = 2 \). It's like mixing together four pies, each cut into eight pieces, and finding out you have two whole pies when you gather up the pieces! Another way to express this is to write it as \( 4 \times \frac{1}{2} \). This is because \( \frac{4}{8} \) simplifies to \( \frac{1}{2} \). So, you can think of it as having four apples and only needing half of them, still bringing you to the delightful number 2! 🍏🍏
