You need to do two changes before you can do the actual subtraction.
One, since 2/3 is more than 1/2, you have to write 11 1/2 as 10 3/2. That is, you add 2/2 to the fractional part, and, to compensate, you subtract the equivalent (2/2 = 1) from the integer part.
Two, you have to convert the fractions to a common denominator.
Once you have done these two changes, you can easily subtract. (Subtract the integer part and the fractional part separately.)
= 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6
two thirds
There are one and a half thirds in a half.
One-half of two-thirds is one-third.
no, half of six thirds is 3 thirds also known as one. stupid
