Given:

Total cheese = 12 pound

Cheese in each package =
(1)/(2) pounds

To find:

The number of cheese packages.

Solution:

We need to divide the total amount of cheese by quantity of cheese in each package to find the the number of cheese packages.

$\text{Number of cheese packages}=\frac{\text{Total cheese}}{\text{Cheese in each package}}$

$\text{Number of cheese packages}=(12)/((1)/(2))$

$\text{Number of cheese packages}=12* (2)/(1)$

$\text{Number of cheese packages}=24$

Therefore, there are 24 number of cheese packages.
