When Meenu multiplies each number on the blackboard by \(-\frac{1}{2}\), the effect on the numbers and their order can be analyzed as follows: 1. Original Numbers: 2, 7, 9, 12 2. Multiplied by \(-\frac{1}{2}\): - \(2 \times -\frac{1}{2} = -1\) - \(7 \times -\frac{1}{2} = -3.5\) - \(9 \times -\frac{1}{2} = -4.5\) - \(12 \times -\frac{1}{2} = -6\) Now, let's examine the order of these new numbers: \(-1, -3.5, -4.5,…Read More
