Clara says that if you square the number 4 and then divide the result 2, you end up with 4. Is Clara correct? Explain.

1 answer:

3 0

Clara is incorrect. When you do the math, 4 squared is basically saying multiply four times four. Which equals Sixteen. When you divide Sixteen by two you get eight, not four. My math is listed below.

4^2 (4 • 4) = 16

16/2 = 8

Hopefully this helped and good luck!!
