ok,so how are you going to post a question for us students but don't give a answer everyone I advice you not to use this site because it is not good help for all students in school. thanks have a wonderful day.
It would!
To find the answer to this question, we need to remember that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
So, when you divide a number by 1/2, you can think of it as multiplying the number by 2/1.
Let's call the original number x. So, when we divide x by 1/2, we are essentially multiplying x by 2/1.
Therefore, the result would be x * 2/1, which simplifies to 2x.
In other words, when you divide a number by 1/2, the result is twice the original number.
So, the correct answer is B) twice the original number.
Try it and find out.
