Answer:
24/2 = 12
Explanation:
(I'm pretty sure this isn't a Biology question, but I'll answer this because I'm nice.)
To translate English into algebriac equations, we have to understand what the symbols in algebra mean. Here are some we should know:
= : "equal to", "is", "equivalent to", etc.
> : "greater than"
< : "less than"
>= : "greater than or equal to", "at least"
<= : "less than or equal to", "at most"
We also have to know basic math operations:
a + b : "a added to b", "a plus b", "a combined with b", "a more than b", etc.
a - b : "a minus b", "b less than a", "b subtracted from a", etc.
a * b : "a multiplied by b", "a times b", "the product of a and b", etc.
a / b : "the quotient of a and b", "a divided by b", etc.
There are MUCH MORE examples of this, yet it becomes second-nature to change English sentences into algebra.
So, let's tackle the question. Sadly, it's pretty simple, so I won't really go in depth here. Since the quotient of a and b is a/b, the quotient of 24 and 2 is 24/2. We can also say that "is equal to 12" is "= 12". So,
24/2 = 12.
