You can put this solution on YOUR website!
50% of something is exactly the same as multiplying 0.5 times that something, so your equation should be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0.5n=16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 0.5 to determine the value of n. Alternatively you could multiply both sides by 2, because dividing by \"1%2F2\" is exactly the same as multiplying by 2.
