Question

nadia has logs that are $\frac{1}{2}$ m long. how many logs does she need? 12 logs which multiplication equation represents the situation? $12 \times \frac{1}{2} = 6$ which division equation represents the situation? $6 \div \frac{1}{2} = 12$; $\frac{1}{2} \div 12 = 6$; $12 \div 6 = \frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Find number of logs

We need total length ($6$ m) divided by length per log ($\frac{1}{2}$ m).
$\text{Number of logs} = 6 \div \frac{1}{2} = 6 \times 2 = 12$

Step2: Verify multiplication equation

Total length = number of logs × length per log.
$12 \times \frac{1}{2} = 6$

Step3: Identify division equation

Number of logs = total length ÷ length per log.
$6 \div \frac{1}{2} = 12$

Answer:

1. 12 logs
2. $12 \times \frac{1}{2} = 6$
3. $6 \div \frac{1}{2} = 12$
