Question

half of a 24 metre length of cloth

Answer 1

Half of a 24 metre length of cloth is 12 metres in length.

Tips:

When we are asked to find half of any number or quantity, we just divide the value by 2.

In other way, we multiply it by $\dfrac{1}{2}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, actual length of cloth = 24 metres

Then half of it

= $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × 24 metres

= 12 metres

Note:

• One-third of 24 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ × 24 = 8

• One-fourth of 24 = $\dfrac{1}{4}$ × 24 = 6
