It involves a division of a whole number by a fraction, followed by simple addition and subtraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key concept here is that <strong>dividing by a fraction<\/strong> is equivalent to <strong>multiplying by its reciprocal<\/strong>. For example, dividing by \u00bd is the same as multiplying by 2. This is because you&#8217;re asking, \u201cHow many halves are in 50?\u201d Since each whole contains 2 halves, there are 100 halves in 50. Thus, 50\u00f712=50\u00d72=10050 \\div \\frac{1}{2} = 50 \\times 2 = 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After solving the division, the next step is to follow the basic arithmetic operations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, <strong>add 15<\/strong> to the result:<br>100+15=115100 + 15 = 115<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, <strong>subtract 10<\/strong>:<br>115\u221210=105115 &#8211; 10 = 105<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to follow the order of operations (sometimes called PEMDAS or BODMAS: Parentheses\/Brackets, Exponents\/Orders, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). In this problem, the only operation needing special attention is the division by a fraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By carefully applying each step, the correct final result is <strong>105<\/strong>. This exercise reinforces fractional arithmetic and sequential problem-solving skills in math.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Divide 50 by( 1)\/(2) and add 15 , then subtract 10.
