There sum you're looking at is similar to the partial sums of the harmonic series (which actually starts with 1, but is otherwise the same). The sum 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n is the nth harmonic number. Unfortunately, there's no explicit formula for the harmonic numbers. However, they can be approximated quite well by ln n (the natural logarithm): in fact, as n gets large, the difference between the two approaches the constant 0.5772... (the Euler–Mascheroni constant).
One fourth is not the answer. 1/4 is half of half. I am looking for half of a third. I think it's one-fourth.
The number six
1/24.
yes, because they are half of a # or a fourth or a third and ect.
The answer is one-half. It is twice as much as one-fourth. Consider one as a whole. If you divide it into two parts, you will get one half (1/2), if into three parts, you will get 1/3 (one-third), if into 4 parts, you will get 1/4 (one-fourth).
this is a simple answer. you first do the problem one half of one third, which equals 0.166666667, then you do one fourth of one third, which equals 0.0833333333, then you do one fourth of 690, which equals 172.5 which would be your final answer. You need to take the problem step by step and solve it with a calculate or division to make it easier.

The answer is 3.
There are 4 quarters in basketball. So the first and second quarters are the first half and the third and fourth is the second half.

There is only a half tone between the third and fourth and between the sixth and seventh notes in a major scale. In minor or any other forms of musical scales, there can be half tones or full tones in many different places in the scale.
Yes, One half of a fourth is one eighth. A fourth of a half is one eighth aswell.
