A steel manufacturer combines 98 ounces of iron with 2 ounces of carbon to make one sheet of steel. How many ounces of iron were used to manufacture 1/2 of a sheet of steel?

(A) 1
(B) 49
(C) 50
(D) 198
(E) 200


Since 1/2 of a sheet of steel is half of one complete sheet of steel, we need half as many ounces of iron for a complete sheet of steel so we need 98/2 = 49 ounces of iron.

Answer: B
