Solved by thinking it out
We have: 95 = 1 2 n
A number must be two lots of 95 if half of it is 95.
That is: 95 + 95 = 190
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solved by using algebra
Given that: 95 = 1 2 n
Determine the value of n
Multiply both sides by 2
2 × 95 = 2 × 1 2 × n
2 × 95 = 2 2 × n
But 2 2 = 1 giving:
190 = 1 × n
n = 190
