A half is 1/2 or 50%.

A quarter (or fourth) is 1/4 or 25%.

There is 50% (or half) of a half in a fourth. A fourth is smaller than a half; 2 fourths make a half.

Take the number 100; half of 100 is 50 because 100/2 = 50, or 50 + 50 = 100.

A fourth of 100 is 25 because 100/4 = 25, or 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 100.

Take 1 lb of flour: there are 16 oz in one pound.

Half a pound is 8 ounces.

A fourth of a pound is 4 ounces.

Half of half a pound (1/2 of 8 ounces) = 4 ounces.
