Answer 1

1) 2×4 = 8. The answer is bigger the 4, because 8 lies to the right of 4 on the coordinate line.

2) 4:2 = 2. The answer is smaller than 4, because 2 lies to the left of 4 on the coordinate line.

3) 2:2 = 1. The answer is smaller than 2 because 1 lies to the left of 2 on the coordinate line.

4) 1:2 = 0.5. The answer is smaller then 1, because 0.5 lies to the left of 1 on the coordinate line.

When we multiply, we have answer is bigger than the original number, and when we divide, we have answer is smaller then original number.
