Question

Perry ordered $\frac{1}{2}$ of 12 cricket balls for match practice. How many balls will be delivered to her?

• A. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 6
Cricket balls ordered by Perry for practice: $\frac{1}{2}$ of 12
$\frac{1}{2}$ of $12$ is same as $\frac{1}{2}\times 12.$
$\therefore \frac{1}{2}\times 12=\frac{1\times 12}{2}=\frac{1\times 2\times 6}{2}$
$=\frac{1\times 6}{1}=6$
$\therefore$ 6 cricket balls will be delivered to Perry.
