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