There are five ways to do this, if you include 32 'groups' with one member each.The others are 2 groups of 16, 4 groups of 8, 8 groups of 4 and 16 groups of 2.
Yes you can, but you have to use zig zag lines. Using straight lines there are only four ways to divide a square into two equal parts (along the lines of symmetry).
In complete sentnces, explain why you can cut the rectangles into different shapes and still have four equal parts.
30
the first way you can divide 4 and 32 and its 8 because 8x4=32. the second way you can you can take parts of the 3 and 2 and give it the product instead of the quotient but the answer is still going to be 8.

6 and 6
You can have one group of 12, two groups of 6, three groups of 4, four groups of 3, six groups of 2, or twelve groups of one. If you count "one group of 12", then there are six different ways. If not, then there are five. To be awkward, the way the question is put, there is an infinity of ways. Choose any n, where n is any positive integer number you like and you can have n groups each one with 12/n in it.
