Answer :
The correct equation with a value less than 2,175 is one half x 2,175 = 1,087.5.
To determine which of the given equations has a value less than 2,175, we need to evaluate each equation:
1. [tex]\(1 \times 2,175 = 2,175\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\(2 \times 2,175 = 4,350\)[/tex]
3. Two halves x 2,175: Since two halves make up one whole, this is equivalent to [tex]\(1 \times 2,175\)[/tex], which equals 2,175.
4. One half x 2,175: This equation represents half of 2,175, which is [tex]\(0.5 \times 2,175 = 1,087.5\).[/tex]
Now, let's analyse the results:
- The first equation equals 2,175, which is exactly the given value, not less.
- The second equation equals 4,350, which is greater than 2,175.
- The third equation is equivalent to the first equation, which equals 2,175, not less.
- The fourth equation equals 1,087.5, which is less than 2,175.
Therefore, the equation with a value less than 2,175 is one half x 2,175 = 1,087.5.
