How do you show a diagram or picture to explain why [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 60 is not the same as [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 24?
Answer (2)
A visual representation of division using a number line or rectangle shows that 1/2 of 60 equals 30, whereas 1/2 of 24 equals 12, illustrating that the halves are different because they are halves of different wholes. ;
Half of 60 is 30, while half of 24 is 12, indicating they are not equal. A visual representation shows that dividing the two different total amounts leads to different results. Therefore, 2 1 of 60 and 2 1 of 24 are indeed different.
