How do you form an equivalent division problem for 8 1/2 divided by 1/2 by doubling both the dividend and divisor

(8 1/2) / (1/2) = 17

17 / 1 = 17

17/1

what are the numbers of pi

17

To form an equivalent division problem, you need to double both the dividend (the number being divided) and the divisor (the number dividing the dividend). In this case, we have the division problem 8 1/2 divided by 1/2.

Step 1: Convert the mixed number dividend into an improper fraction.
8 1/2 = (2 * 8 + 1) / 2 = 17/2

Step 2: Double the dividend.
17/2 * 2 = 17

Step 3: Double the divisor.
1/2 * 2 = 1

Now, the equivalent division problem for 8 1/2 divided by 1/2 by doubling both the dividend and divisor is 17 divided by 1.
