I NEED HELP QUICK!!!!
What is half of 5 1/2, 3 1/2, 5 3/4, 3 1/6 and 4 1/2???????
HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
THX (Thanks)!!!!
I'll show you how to do the first one.
5 1/2 = 11/2
11/2 * 1/2 = 11/4 = 2 3/4
Do the others the same way.
Just to check,
3 1/2 → 1 1/4
5 3/4 → 2 1/8
3 1/6 → 1 7/12
4 1/2 → 2 1/4
Am I right?
Im Just Gonna Guess Its Right, But Keep Replying!
3 1/2 → 1 1/4
no
7/2*1/2 = 7/4 = 1 3/4
5 3/4 → 2 1/8
no
23/4 * 1/2 = 23/8 = 2 7/8
3 1/6 → 1 7/12
yes
19/6 *1/2 = 19/12 = 1 7/12
4 1/2 → 2 1/4
yes
9/2*1/2 = 9/4 = 2 1/4
Ok, THX!!!!!!!! ☺
Sure, I can help you with that! To find half of a fraction, you simply divide the numerator (the number on top) by 2 while keeping the denominator (the number on the bottom) the same. Let's calculate the half for each fraction you provided:
1. Half of 5 1/2:
- Divide the numerator, 5, by 2: 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5
- Keep the denominator the same: 1/2
- Therefore, half of 5 1/2 is 2 1/2.
2. Half of 3 1/2:
- Divide the numerator, 3, by 2: 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
- Keep the denominator the same: 1/2
- Therefore, half of 3 1/2 is 1 1/2.
3. Half of 5 3/4:
- Divide the numerator, 5, by 2: 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5
- Keep the denominator the same: 3/4
- Therefore, half of 5 3/4 is 2 3/8.
4. Half of 3 1/6:
- Divide the numerator, 3, by 2: 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
- Keep the denominator the same: 1/6
- Therefore, half of 3 1/6 is 1 1/12.
5. Half of 4 1/2:
- Divide the numerator, 4, by 2: 4 ÷ 2 = 2
- Keep the denominator the same: 1/2
- Therefore, half of 4 1/2 is 2 1/4.
So, the halves of the fractions you mentioned are:
- 5 1/2 = 2 1/2
- 3 1/2 = 1 1/2
- 5 3/4 = 2 3/8
- 3 1/6 = 1 1/12
- 4 1/2 = 2 1/4
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
