A half life may or may not be a fraction. The half life of carbon 14, for example, is 5715 years - not really a fraction, unless you are thinking in terms time periods which are much longer than a year.
Half of an hour = 1/2 hour...(1) Hours in a day = 24 hours and 1 hour = 1/24 day...(2) From the above two results, we get Half of an hour = (1/2)/24 day = 1/48 day
To find the half of a fraction, multiply the given fraction by 1/2 or 0.5.
Half of 1 as a fraction is 1/2
1/2 = Half in fraction terms. -Liam
7 and one half hours = 15 half hours. There are 24 hours in a day, so there are 48 half hours in a day. Therefore the answer is 15/48, which can then be reduced to 5/16.
1/2It is 12/24 which can be simplified to 1/2 a day
As a fraction it is 12/24 which can be simplified to 1/2 a day
A day is 24 hours. To find what fraction of a day 12 hours is, place 12 over 24. It is 12/24 of a day or 1/2 of a day simplified.
23 hours/1 day = 23 hours/24 hours so the fraction is 23/24.
There are 60 hours in 2 and 1/2 days
A half life may or may not be a fraction. The half life of carbon 14, for example, is 5715 years - not really a fraction, unless you are thinking in terms time periods which are much longer than a year.
1 day = 24 hours12/24 =1/2 of 1 day
Half of an hour = 1/2 hour...(1) Hours in a day = 24 hours and 1 hour = 1/24 day...(2) From the above two results, we get Half of an hour = (1/2)/24 day = 1/48 day
One quarter (1/4) is the fraction that is half of one half (1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4).
If you take one day equal to 24 hours, then 1 day constitutes 2 Half lives. Mass of isotope left after 12 hours=10/2=5g Mass of isotope left after 2 half lives or 1 day=5/2=2.5g.
1 over 2 is a half as a fraction
