Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
In (A), we have 9 : 2.
Multiply by 2, we get 18 : 4
In (B), we have 36 : 8.
Divide by 2, we get, 18 : 4.
In (D), we have 54 : 12.
Divide by 3, we get, 18 : 4.
Hence, (C) is not equivalent to the given statement.

Surprise! It turns out that the answer is 1.
Why?!!??!
Notice this pattern when working with powers of 2:
2^0 2^1 2^2 2^3 2^4
? 2 4 8 16
Every time we increase the power we multiply by 2. Or reading the pattern backwards, every time we decrease the power we divide by 2. What is 2 divided by 2? It is 1! So 2^0 = 1 to finish the pattern:
2^0 2^1 2^2 2^3 2^4
1 2 4 8 16
Try it with 3 or with 5 or with any number! You'll see that the pattern holds!
