It is 32. Yeah grandma!!!! What you did wrong was you divided by 2 not multiplied. To get n by itself you need to multiply each side by 2 not divide. Its alright I did the same thing in Middle School
16=n/2
2/1 * 16=n/2 *2/1
32=n

Remember that you're trying to get n by itself. To do that, multiply both sides by (2/1). this gets rid of the 2 and n divided by 1 equals n. 16 x 2 = 32, thus 32 = n.

It's 32. 32/2 = 16.

your grandma is right.
n/2=16
2times n to get n by it self
2 times 16=32

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
16 * 2 = n/2 * 2
The 2 cancels on the right hand side so therefore:
16 * 2 = n
Or,
n = 16 * 2
n = 32

it's 32. to solve, multiply both sides by 2. you get 32 on the left and n on the right. so n=32.

its 32
16=n/2 you would multiply each side to get rid of the 2 in the denomenator
