Convert it all to real decimal numbers
is 1/4 (=0.25) plus 2/10 (=0.2) ((which comes to 0.45)) more or less than 1/2 (=0.5)
well it is less isn't it!.
three tenths is more than a quarter
A quarter is less than half. Specifically, a quarter represents one-fourth (1/4) of a whole, while half represents one-half (1/2). Since one-fourth is smaller than one-half, a quarter is indeed less than half.
three fifths.....or anywhere between 25% and 49%
Two quarters is equal to one half. This is because two quarters (2 x 0.25) equals 0.50, which is the same as one half (1/2). Therefore, they are equal, not less or more.
A rotation that is less than a half turn but more than a quarter turn would be a turn of 135 degrees. This angle is greater than 90 degrees (a quarter turn) and less than 180 degrees (a half turn). It represents a position that is three-quarters of the way around from the starting point, effectively creating an angle of 135 degrees from the original orientation.

By 5 and a half I believe you are referring to 5.5. Therefore we can count a tenth as 0.1 so 5.5/0.1=55. So there are 55 tenths in 5 and a half

These are different phases of the moon based on its appearance as observed from Earth. Crescent moon is when less than half of the moon is visible, first quarter is when half of the moon is visible, waning gibbous is when more than half but less than full moon is visible, and waxing gibbous is the phase when more than half but less than full moon is visible.
one quarter is less than one third
A rotation that is less than a half turn but more than a quarter turn would be a turn of 135 degrees. This angle is greater than 90 degrees (a quarter turn) and less than 180 degrees (a half turn). It represents a position that is three-quarters of the way around from the starting point, effectively creating an angle of 135 degrees from the original orientation.
You can see more than one half but less than all of the Moon's lighted side during the phases known as gibbous moons. This occurs when the Moon is more than half illuminated but less than fully illuminated by the Sun from our perspective on Earth.
He has two and a Quarter pounds of bird seed. So he has one quarter of a pound less than two and a half pounds.
It sounds like the moon is currently waxing gibbous, with more than a quarter but less than half of the moon visible. As it progresses towards the third quarter phase, the visible portion will continue to decrease until only half of the moon is visible.
That happens at the times of the First Quarter and Last Quarter phases. "Half moon" is actually not a bad description for what you see at that time. It's more than a crescent, but less than gibbous.
