Question

Lashonda needs to memorize words on a vocabulary list for Russian class. She has memorized 22 of the words, which is one-half of the list. How many wordsare on the list?

Answer 1

44 words

Step-by-step explanation

Let 'x' be the number of words in the list. We know that half the list is 22 words:

`(1)/(2)x=22`

To find x we just have to multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)\cdot2x=22\cdot2 \\ x=44 \end{gathered}`

There are 44 words on the list.
