I got 24

Explanation:

12 divided by 1/2 =
12= whole number
1= Numerator
2= Denominator
To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the whole number by the denominator and make the result the new numerator. The old numerator becomes the new denominator:
12x2/1 = 24/1
Thus, the answer to 12 divided by 1/2 in fraction form is 24/1
But to make the answer 12 divided by 1/2 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator from the fraction answer:
24/1 = 24
