What is 2/2 of 67?

How to calculate 2/2 of 67?

1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 67 × 2 = 134
2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 134/2 = 67
3. Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD (2):
   • 134/2 = 67
   • 2/2 = 1
4. Which gives: 67/1

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 2/2 of 67, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{2}{2}=\frac{x}{67}$ (where x represents 2/2 of 67)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $2\times 67=2x$
2. Which gives: $134=2x$
3. Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x: $\frac{134}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{134}{2}=x$ (or $\frac{67}{1}=x$)

Thus, 2/2 of 67 is equal to 67/1 (or 67 in its decimal form).
