Question

Whats one and half times 16

Answer 1

8 is the answer because:

(½)16=16/2 which = 8

Answer 2

Okay so $1 \frac{1}{2}*16$.

First, we make 16 a fraction:$16=\boxed{\boxed{ \frac{16}{1}}}$

Then, we make $1 \frac{1}{2}$ a improper fraction: $1 \frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*2+1}{2}=\boxed{\boxed{ \frac{3}{2}}}$

Now, we multiply $\frac{3}{2}$ by $\frac{16}{1}$: $\frac{3}{2}* \frac{16}{1}= \frac{48}{2}$

Finally, we simplify $\frac{48}{2}$: $\frac{48:2}{2:2}= \frac{24}{1}=\boxed{\boxed{24}}}$.

Your answer is $\boxed{\boxed{24}}}}$.

Hoped I helped. :)
