Answer: The number is 2
Step-by-step explanation: Suzie says that [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], which is half of a whole, is equal to only [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the unknown number. This means that to find the value of the unknown number, you need to multiply [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by 4 so that it equals to [tex]\frac{4}{4}[/tex] of the mystery number.
Simply put, multiply [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by 4. Then reduce for the answer, and this gives us these equations.
[tex]x=4(\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Hope that this helps!
