One third of a number is less than half of the same number what is the number?
One-third of ANY number is less than half of that number - no matter what number you pick.
Is a half an equivalent fraction?
Equivalent to what? No fraction is "equivalent" by itself; you can say that two or more fractions are equivalent, if they represent the same number.
Why taking one and a half of a number not the same as dividing by one and a half?
It is not the same because when you are taking 1.5 (one and a half) of a number, you are taking part of a number. when you divide the same number by 1.5 (one and a half) you are finding how many times 1.5 (one and a half) can fit inside the number. EXAMPLE: Taking or Finding 1.5% of a number 1.5%=0.15 0.15x25= 3.75 Dividing # by 1.5 25/1.5=16.6666667 see, two very different answers

Is taking half of a number is the same as dividing by half?
yes
Would a trunk of nickels be worth more or the same as a half a trunk of dimes?
The volume of a dime is roughly half the volume of a nickel, so any specific number of dimes would take up about half as much space as the same number of nickels*. In other words, a half a trunk of dimes would have at least the same number of that coin as a full trunk of nickels. However each dime is worth twice as much so the half-trunk of dimes would be worth more. * Because dimes are smaller they'd be able to pack somewhat more tightly than nickels so you could probably get slightly more dimes into the half-trunk. However that doesn't affect the answer; it simply means the half-trunk would be worth even more.
What number is the same as twice its half?

How do you translateThe difference of a number and 1 is equal to -24 more than half another number plus -45?
Call the numbers x and y. Difference translates to subtraction More translates to addition. Half a number is the same as dividing it by 2. x - 1 = -24 + y/2 + (-45)

Why is the answer to 8 divided by 0.66 exactly half of the answer to 8 divided by 0.33?
0.66 is exactly double 0.33. Since dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, dividing by double a number is the same as multiplying by half the number. As a result, the answer is half as large.
