Q. Which is the most accurate way to estimate 50%50\% of 5353?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 14×52\frac{1}{4} \times 52\newline(B) 13×52\frac{1}{3} \times 52\newline(C) 23×52\frac{2}{3} \times 52\newline(D) 12×52\frac{1}{2} \times 52
  1. Identify Operation: Identify the mathematical operation that represents 50%50\%.\newlineTo find 50%50\% of a number, you multiply it by 12\frac{1}{2}.
  2. Match Correct Choice: Match the correct choice that uses 12\frac{1}{2} as the multiplier.\newlineFrom the choices given, (D) 12×52\frac{1}{2} \times 52 is the only option that uses 12\frac{1}{2}.
  3. Calculate to Confirm: Calculate 12×52\frac{1}{2} \times 52 to confirm it's close to 50%50\% of 5353.\newline12×52=26\frac{1}{2} \times 52 = 26. This is an estimate of half of 5353, which would actually be 26.526.5.
