equation with x from the information,

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{x}{2}=25.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Peter halves the number and gets an answer of 25.5.

It means,

Half of x equals 25.5. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}x=25.5$

or

$\dfrac{x}{2}=25.5$

Hence, the required equation is $\dfrac{x}{2}=25.5$.
