Six whole halves. Each whole has two halves making it, 6(wholes)x2(#of halves in whole)= 12. 12 halves in 6 wholes.
When you have 11 halves, you can think of it as having 11 parts, each of which is half of a whole. To find out how many wholes that is, you would divide 11 by 2, since there are 2 halves in a whole. Therefore, 11 halves is equal to 5 wholes with 1 half remaining.
