To divide 2 wholes and a half, you would have to divide the 2 wholes into equal parts and then divide the half as well. For example, if you divide each whole into 4 equal parts, you would have 8 parts in total. Distribute 2 parts to each whole, resulting in 4 parts for the wholes. Then, divide the half into 2 parts, adding to a total of 6 parts.
2 is 2 wholes. It can be broken into two pieces of 1 whole. One of those two pieces is one whole. Half of 2 is 1.
Each whole is two halves, so eight wholes are sixteen halves. Adding one half makes the total seventeen halves. Reducing this, of course, is simply eight and one-half.
11.5- You find half of 44 and add .5 to make a whole when the two are added together, to make 23 wholes.
