Question 256051
Hello, 
First we need to clarify a couple words. In math the word "of" means multiply. So let's take a number, say 12. 
1/2 times 12 = 6 (Agree?) 
Now let's divide the number by 1/2
12 divided by 1/2 is written as:
12 times 2/1 = 24  
Now you know the answer to the problem. 
Make sense?
