Question

property to rewrite each expression

1. 12 • 4$\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate the exponent

Recall that $a^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{a}$. So, $4^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{4}=2$.

Step2: Multiply the results

Multiply 12 by the result of $4^{\frac{1}{2}}$. So, $12\times2 = 24$.

Answer:

24
