Question

One half of the number of the sum of numbers x and y is: a) 2 + y b) 1 2 (x + y) c) x + 2 d) 1 2 (x)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option b) 1/2 *(x+y) is the correct answer

Sum of x and y = x+y

Half of the sum = 1/2*(x+y)

Answer 2

From the given question the correct answer is:

b) 1/2 (x+y)

One half of the number of the sum of numbers x and y is 1/2 (x+y)

Explanation:

Given that,

One half of the number of the sum of numbers x and y is

so from the condition that the sum of numbers x and y is

we get ,

x+y

so, One half of the number of the sum of numbers x and y is

we get,

1/2 (x+y)

Hence , One half of the number of the sum of numbers x and y is 1/2 (x+y)
