OpenStudy (phebe):

thanx @mjoxprm360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was looking for the answer "half of 15 is \(\frac{15}{2}\)" now to get your answer, you need to square it short answer is wrong, it is not A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

beware of answers given without explanation they are usually guesses and often wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain to me why its not.........................lol i forgot 2 numbers in my equation

OpenStudy (phebe):

foreal @satellite73 well not @mjoxprm360 he smart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need a method, not an answer any answer given without explanation is suspect in this case A is not the right answer, which is not surprising because there was no explanation of why it should be A, just the response "A"

OpenStudy (phebe):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

half of \(15\) is \(\frac{15}{2}\) to get your answer, compute \[\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)^2\]
