Question

The product of 16 and half of a number is 136 which of these is the number?

Answer 1

16 × 1/2 × x = 136 { given } then

x = 136 × 2/ 16 ( since you must've read about that when we take numbers or variable from one side to another the opposite sign is imposed )

Answer 2

The required number is 17.

Given:

The product of 16 and half of a number is 136

To Find:

The required number.

Solution:

We are given that the product of 16 and half of a number is 136.

Let us assume that the required number is 'x'.

Half of the number will be x/2.

Then, the product of 16 and half of a number = 16  × x/2

This product is given to be 136.

Converting our given statement into an equation, we have

16 × x/2 = 136

⇒ x = (136 × 2)/16 = 17.

∴ x = 17.

Hence, the required number is 17.
