Question

Ok I'm doing home work and need to show why 1/2 of 60 is not the same as 1/2 of 24 please help! It will give you 24 points.

Answer 1

Simple,

1/2 of 60

re-write it as 0.5 of 60 aka 0.5*60

which is 0.5*60=30

Do the same with 1/2 of 24.

0.5 of 24

0.5*24=12.

Thus, it's not the same because they are different numbers and different number give you different answers.
