If you divide a dollar into two equal parts, how big is each part?
0
or 50 and 50
If you have 1 dollar and you keep half of it and give half of it to your friend, how much do you each get?
50
And what is 100 divided by 2?
200
100 times 2 is 200 What is 100 divided by 2?
50
So the concept here is that if you want to divide something into two equal parts, you should divide by 2.
For example if you have 12 eggs and want to put the same number of eggs into two containers, you should say: 12 divided by 2 is 6 so I should put 6 eggs in each container.
It you have 10 tootsie rolls and want to give an equal amount to each of your two children you should say: 10 divided by 2 is 5 and you should give each child 5 tootsie rolls.
If you have a piece of wood that is 2 1/8 inches long and you want to cut it so that you end up with two equal pieces you should say 2 1/8 divided by 2 is ??? and you should do that problem and find out how long each piece would be.
dibbie anderson is a piece of wood?
@primeralph Don't nit pick. She probably meant "has" instead of "a". Maybe English is a second language or something. Maybe it was a typo.
@Mertsj To be honest, I didn't mean to. I was just asking. Farmers or such, sometimes give names to their tools and the likes.
