The number .5 means half. So, if you take half of something, that is less than the entire thing, right? And half of half is a quarter. Multiplication only makes numbers larger when you multiply numbers that are greater than one. If you multiply by one the number doesn't change. If you multiply by less than one, you make the number smaller.
One-half the base.
(1/2)5=2.5
one fourth: divide the number by 4, or multiply it by 0.25half: divide the number by 2, or multiply it by 0.5 three fourths: multiply the answer to the first by 3, or multiply the original number by 0.75
do you own a calculator? so 1.5 is half of 3, so you multiply 3 by two, and take away half of three: 4.5
8
The answer is 6. Multiply one half by twelve over one. and you get 6!
One half squared equals one fourth because when you multiply one half by one half you get one fourth. This is the equivalent of saying that half of one half is one fourth.
If 14 counters is half, you multiply it by 2 to get 28 counters, which is one.
If you multiply one half of a percent (0.05) x 36,000 you will get 18,000.
One half. If you converted them both to fractions, 1/3 is 2/6 (multiply by 2) and 1/2 is 3/6 (multiply top and bottom by 3).

One half multiplied by one is equal to one half. This is because when you multiply a fraction by a whole number, you simply multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 1/2 multiplied by 1 equals 1/2.
One-half the base.
(1/2)5=2.5
You multiply straight across. Let's take one half and two halves for example. Multiply across, and you get three quarters.
It depends on the factions, but normally, yes. For example, you multiply one-fourth by one-half, you get one eighth, which is less than one.
