Be careful

Well this is one of my favorite tricks- Dividing by half. Dividing by half can be imagined only mathematically and it actually means multiplying by 2. (As multiplication is inverse of division) Thus the answer is $30*2+25=85$ . Done :)

We have

$30 \div \frac{1}{2} + 25 = 30 \times 2 + 25$

$=60+25=\boxed{85}$

Most people get confused in dividing by 1/2 but when done with concentration this question is a cakewalk. 30/1/2 + 25=60+25=85.

30/1*2+25==85

I feel the question is incorrectly worded it should read "divided by a half" not "divided by half"

real answer as worded is 27
30 ÷ (30÷2) + 25 =27

Answer divided by a half is 85 30÷ (1/2) +25 =27

Good question, this is a fun one. The wording isn't just tricky, however; I would argue it's incorrect (and therefore ambiguous). We should say "divided by ONE half" (or "divided IN half" if we mean divided by 2). We would not say "Half of 2/3 is third" but rather "half of 2/3 is one third." I'm trying to think if there are other instances in which we use "half" this way and cannot think of one.

(30 / 0.5) + 25 (30 2 / 0.5 2) + 25 (60/1)+25 60+25 = 85

Well essy , common sense should be apply which enable to solve the problem

I know for this problem you could just say 30 2+25=85 but an alternative way is to do 30 divided by a half (1/2) plus 25 is equal to 85. Either way will turn out to be 30 2 but I just wanted to show you the other way so if your practicing dividing fractions you can. Good Luck!

30/(1/2)+25 =60+25 =85

That's stupid, using English 30 divided by half is 15 not 60... use numbers instead of English or question is epic fail.

This question should have said one half, so not to confuse people that you mean in half

expression is 30 / 1upon2 +25 that is 30 X2 +25 =85 Ans

It says " be careful ", most people do $(30/2)+25=40$ , but that is asi it was "thirty divided by two"... but, with "thirty divided by half" it must be $[30/(1/2)]+25$ , which is equal to $(30*2)+25=85$ , pretty easy.

The wording is very clear. It is the difference between divided BY half and divided IN half. Dividing one whole by a half means, how many halves are in one whole? It takes two halves to equal 1 whole. So, what is 30 wholes divided by half is the same as How many halves are in 30 wholes?

30/0.5 = 60 +25 = 85

30/0.5 +25 =60+25

?=30/.5+25 ?=85

This one was a game of words. Thirty divided by half (30/0.5) plus 25 gives 85.

brain games 30/1/2+25=60+25=85

30/1/2=30*2=60......THEREFORE.......60+25=85
