Question

Fiona was thinking of a number. Fiona halves the number and gets an answer of 72.8. Form an equation with
x
from the information.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{x }{2} = 72.8$

Answer 2

Answer:

72 = .5x (= 144)

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is denoted as x.

If we half the number, that means we take it times (1/2) or .5.

That leaves us with .5x

Since that equals 72, we can set it equal to 72

.5x = 72
