Question

Lisa has 6 hours of studying to do . If she divides her study time into 1/2-hour sessions , how many study sessions will she need .
A.12

B.8

C.3

D.4

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

6 / .5 (same as 1/2)

or 6 X $\frac{2}{1} = 12$

Remember when we divide by a fraction we do the following

Keep it (the first number stays the same)

Change it (convert from a division problem to a multiplication problem)

Flip it (flip the fraction that we are dividing by over - this is called a reciprocal)

Answer 2

12 is the correct answer
