Lucy separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 2 equally sized groups. She claims that this is the same as making a group 1/2 the size of his original group. Create an equation that models Lucy's claim.

x/2 = 1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

# of paintbrushes/ 2 piles = 1/2 # of paintbrushes

x/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lucy is taking the paintbrushes, x, and splitting them into 2 equally sized groups we can assume that this IS 1/2 the size of the original group.

We can show this claim by simply doing this equation: x/2, since she is splitting them into 2 groups that are equally sized, we are just dividing x by two.
