Answer:
D) 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question:
Jack wanted to make note cards by cutting pieces of paper in half. . When he was done he had 24 half-pieces of paper.
Step 1
Divide the number of half pieces by 2 to get the number of whole pieces that was cut
= 24 half pieces/2
= 12 full pieces
Step 2
With how many pieces did he start?
We are told in the question that: Before starting he got two more pieces to use
Hence: The number of pieces he started is calculated as:
12 pieces - 2 pieces
= 10 pieces
Hence, he started with 10 pieces
