Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
The answer is 7 remainder 2.
Is that all the information? it could literally be any number with only that.
I think your answer is A. (0,5)
Hope this helps!! Have a great day!! :)))
your answer would be
6 ways for 1st place
5 ways for 2nd place
4 ways for 3rd place
3 ways for fourth place
and in total there are 360 ways in total.
(6*5*4*3=360)
