Question

Write an expression showing a ÷ 2 without the use of the division symbol. What can we determine from the model?

Answer 1

The required expression is shown below
`(a)/(2)`

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Write an expression showing a ÷ 2 without the use of the division symbol.

Here the a ÷ 2 shows that the variable a is divided by 2.

The model for this expression is shown in figure below:

We can rewrite the expression in fractional form as shown:

`a/2=(a)/(2)`

If we write division expressions using the division symbol, we represent dividend ÷ divisor.

In fractional form it will look like:

`(dividend)/(divisor)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

given, a ÷ 2

division symbol is given as ' ÷ '

the expression above can also be shown without division symbol as

= a/2

we can determine from the model is that the expression

a ÷ 2 will be equal to a/2

the diagram attached below will show a ÷ 2 or a/2
