Answer 2

Given:

Statement is "Half of a number minus seven is one and five-tenths."

To find:

The equation for the given statement.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be x.

Half of a number : $\dfrac{x}{2}$

Half of a number minus seven : $\dfrac{x}{2}-7$

One and five-tenths : $1\dfrac{5}{10}=1.5$

Half of a number minus seven is one and five-tenths:

$\dfrac{x}{2}-7=1.5$

The required equation for the given statement is $\dfrac{x}{2}-7=1.5$.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
