It is nearer to one half.
Greater.
Two fifths is six fifteenths. Eleven fifteenths minus six fifteenths is five fifteenths, which is also one third.
One-third is the same as five-fifteenths. Two-fifths is the same as six-fifteenths. Five-fifteenths plus six-fifteenths is eleven-fifteenths. One, or fifteen-fifteenths, minus eleven-fifteenths is four-fifteenths.
It is 1100
Seven and a half.
Eleven fifteenths minus ten fifteenths is equal to one fifteenth.
7.5/15 = 1/2, so there are 7.5 fifteenths in one half.
Seven and one-half fifteenths (7.5 fifteenths). **************************************** A bit more explanation: 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5 (Note: a fifteenth is the same as cutting a pie into 15 slices. So simply divide the whole pie by 2.)
8/15 would be more than one half because 7.5 is half of fifteen
2+6 15ths is 8/15ths, which is just over one 1/2
three fifteenths
It is closer to one half.
