Question

Which of the following is true about the expression given below? (1,324/1/2)-52



A.
The given expression is fifty-two times less than . (1,324/1/2)
B.
The given expression is fifty-two less than . (1,324/1/2)
C.
The given expression is fifty-two times as large as . (1,324/1/2)
D.
The given expression is fifty-two more than . (1,324/1/2)

Answer 1

To analyze the expression \((1,324/1/2) - 52\), we first need to simplify \(1,324/1/2\).

1. Dividing by \(\frac{1}{2}\) is the same as multiplying by 2, hence:
\[
1,324 / \frac{1}{2} = 1,324 \times 2 = 2,648.
\]

Now, we can rewrite the expression:
\[
(1,324/1/2) - 52 = 2,648 - 52 = 2,596.
\]

Now we will evaluate each option given in the question:

A. **The given expression is fifty-two times less than . (1,324/1/2)**
This option implies the expression \(2,648\) is \(52\) times greater than \(2,596\), which is false.

B. **The given expression is fifty-two less than . (1,324/1/2)**
Here, we check if \(2,596\) is \(52\) less than \(2,648\):
\[
2,648 - 52 = 2,596.
\]
This is true.

C. **The given expression is fifty-two times as large as . (1,324/1/2)**
This option suggests \(2,596\) is \(52\) times \(2,648\), which is false.

D. **The given expression is fifty-two more than . (1,324/1/2)**
This option says \(2,596\) is \(52\) more than \(2,648\), which is also false.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
**B. The given expression is fifty-two less than . (1,324/1/2)**.
