Question

Determine 50% of 120

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is just asking what half of 120 is.

Think of it as multiplication.

What's half of 12? The answer is 6.  ---------------      (6 x 2 = 12)

Just had a zero to whatever your "half" is and multiply that by 2.

60 x 2 = 120

Just remember that 50% is half of 100%

25% = 1/4

50% = 2/4 OR 1/2

75% = 3/4

100% = 4/4 OR 1
