Re: NOTE: The original eq. is ≠ to:48/(2*12) for reference it's 48*0.5*12. Note the multiplicative factors must commute. That's made possible by the concept of multiplicative inverse(the /sign), which applies to "2" and renders it a factor of 1/2, or 0.5.

"Yes it is."

Show your work.

"How old are you? "

Irrelevant.
