Question

Nell wants to use multiplication to solve m = (1/2) / 8 ​ Which multiplication equation can Nell use? a. 1/2 = 8 × m b. 8 = m × (1/2) c. m = 8 × (1/2)

Answer 1

A
Because if you move 8 to m’s side you would have to multiply because you have to do the opposide
M = (1/2) / 8
Multiply by 8 on each side
8 x m = 1/2
You couldnt multiply by 1/2 instead (B) becuase you arent diving anything by 1/2 so you wouldnt be canceling it out
