Rex has half as many chew toys as his furry friend, Snoopy. Snoopy has 12 chew toys. Fill in the blank with the correct operation for the one variable, one-step equation to find the number of chew toys Rex has.

2 ?r = 12

The correct operation to find the number of chew toys Rex has is division.

2 ÷ r = 12

it needs a number

Apologies for the confusion. Let's use "n" as the number of chew toys Rex has. The correct equation would be:

2 × n = 12
