Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a division problem.

You need to divide 24 by 1/2.

24 / 1/2 = 24/1 / 1/2 = 24/1 * 2/1 = 48/1 = 48

Answer: 48

You can also do it this way.

Each acre is the same size as 2 half-acres.

1 acre = 2 half-acres

Multiply both sides of the equation above by 24.

24 * 1 acre = 24 * 2 half-acres

24 acres = 48 half acres

Answer: 48
