The answer to this is to take the halves (8) and then divide them by them by 2. The answer to your question in particular is 4. If it was 11 say, you would divide by two (5.5) and then with the remaining 0.5 convert it back into a fraction. Therefore the answer to 11 would be 5 1/2. Sorry if this is confusing!!! In short, the answer to your question is 4.
There are 16 halves in eight wholes.
10 halves in 5 wholes.
You can make 4 wholes from 8 halves.
There are four halves in two wholes. Each whole is made up of two halves, so when you multiply two wholes by two halves per whole, you get four halves in total.
You can make 3 wholes
20
5 wholes = ten halves plus one half = 11 halves
There are twelve halves in six wholes. This is because each whole can be divided into two equal parts, making two halves. Therefore, six wholes would have a total of twelve halves.
1
3 x 2 = 6 halves
8
When you have 11 halves, you can think of it as having 11 parts, each of which is half of a whole. To find out how many wholes that is, you would divide 11 by 2, since there are 2 halves in a whole. Therefore, 11 halves is equal to 5 wholes with 1 half remaining.
