Question

Choose a value that breaks the number 80 into 2 equal pieces
1. 1/5
2. 10%
3.1/2
4.25%

Answer 1

To break the number 80 into 2 equal pieces, you would divide it by 2. This means you are looking to find a value that represents half of 80.

1. **1/5** of 80 = 80 * (1/5) = 16
2. **10%** of 80 = 80 * 0.10 = 8
3. **1/2** of 80 = 80 * (1/2) = 40
4. **25%** of 80 = 80 * 0.25 = 20

The correct option that breaks the number 80 into 2 equal pieces is **3. 1/2** (which equals 40).
