Dexter Levy · Answer 2

12 / (1/2) = 12/1 x 2/1 = 24 slices

In order to figure this out you have to divide by the size of the slices to find the number. since dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal (the opposite, flipping the fraction) we can determine that there are 24 1/2 in. slices.
