Please help me with this
If 2/3 of N is 4, then 1/2 of N is:
set up as equation and solve for N
2/3 N = 4
2N = 12
N = 6
1/2 N = ?
N = 6
1/2 6 = ?
correct!! :)
Well, if 2/3 of N is 4, then 1/2 of N must be...half of that! So, 1/2 of N would be a great way to divide your workload in half and keep things balanced. But in terms of numbers, it would be 4 divided by 2. So, the answer is 2. Half of N would be 2.
To find out what 1/2 of N is, we first need to determine the value of N.
The information given states that 2/3 of N is equal to 4.
We can set up an equation to represent this:
2/3 * N = 4
To solve for N, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2 (or multiply by the reciprocal of 2/3):
(2/3 * N) * (3/2) = 4 * (3/2)
The 3's in the numerators and denominators cancel out, leaving us with:
N = 4 * (3/2)
N = 12/2
Simplifying further, we have:
N = 6
Now that we know the value of N is 6, we can find 1/2 of N:
1/2 * N = 1/2 * 6
1/2 * N = 3
Therefore, 1/2 of N is equal to 3.
To find the value of 1/2 of N, we need to first determine the value of N.
We are given that 2/3 of N is equal to 4. This can be represented as the equation:
2/3 * N = 4
To solve this equation for N, we can multiply both sides by 3/2 to isolate N:
N = (4 * 3/2)
Simplifying, we have:
N = 12/2
N = 6
Now that we know the value of N is 6, we can find 1/2 of N by multiplying N by 1/2:
1/2 * 6 = 3
Therefore, 1/2 of N is 3.
