Peter was thinking of a number. Peter halves the number and gets an answer of 25.5. Form an
equation with x from the information,

Answer 1

`(x)/(2)=25.5`

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Peter halves the number and gets an answer of 25.5.

It means,

Half of x equals 25.5. So,

`(1)/(2)x=25.5`

or

`(x)/(2)=25.5`

Hence, the required equation is
`(x)/(2)=25.5`.
