Whats one and half times 16

Sagot :

8 is the answer because:

(½)16=16/2 which = 8
Okay so [tex]1 \frac{1}{2}*16[/tex].

First, we make 16 a fraction:[tex]16=\boxed{\boxed{ \frac{16}{1}}}[/tex]

Then, we make [tex]1 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] a improper fraction: [tex]1 \frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*2+1}{2}=\boxed{\boxed{ \frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

Now, we multiply [tex] \frac{3}{2}[/tex] by [tex] \frac{16}{1}[/tex]: [tex] \frac{3}{2}* \frac{16}{1}= \frac{48}{2} [/tex]

Finally, we simplify [tex] \frac{48}{2}[/tex]: [tex] \frac{48:2}{2:2}= \frac{24}{1}=\boxed{\boxed{24}}}[/tex].

Your answer is [tex]\boxed{\boxed{24}}}}[/tex].

Hoped I helped. :)
