[TheJoker6900]

a) 7
(b) 9
(c) 14
(d) 22

explanations for your answer too

 

[dighn]

9 if you are using integer division

 

[Kalvin00]

(E)None of the above 😛

 

[thirtythree]

half of 14 will be a four if you split it into two digits. does that count?

9 is the correct answer but wrong reason

again, wrong reason

 

[dabuddha]

well if you convert 9 to base 8, it becomes 11
divided by 4 base 8 it gives you 4

If you are using INTs division...

9/2 = 4.5 get cut off to 4.

9 in Roman Numerals

IV=4

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

a) 7/2=3.5
3.5 rounded upwards is 4

b) 9/2=4 (integer division)

c) 14 -> (1)4 -> 4 (splitting the number into 2 digits)

d) 22/2=11
11 binary is the 4th binary number.

If you really want you can see pretty much any of the answers as being right.

"9" divided by 2 digits "1.6" becomes 4 digits "5.625"

 

[SunnyD]

I was gonna say 22...

22 / 2 = 11, so 22 11 is 4 numbers. 2 2 1 1. Whatever. NEF

Thats pretty stupid.

Ooh, the post above mine was the 17th post!


Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

 

[GambiT]

I just got your answer. But the question was phrased wrong. Instead of divided by 2, it should say something about taking the half...
