1 and one fourth
2 fourths or one half
(1/2*1/2*1/2)/(1/2*1/4*1/2) = 2
one half of one fourth = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
half of 2/8 = 1/8

half of a half is a fourth, which is also called a quarter 1/2 + 1/2 = (1x1)/(2x2) = 1/4
1/2 = 2/4
One quarter
A half is 1/2 or 50%. A quarter (or fourth) is 1/4 or 25%. There is 50% (or half) of a half in a fourth. A fourth is smaller than a half; 2 fourths make a half. Take the number 100; half of 100 is 50 because 100/2 = 50, or 50 + 50 = 100. A fourth of 100 is 25 because 100/4 = 25, or 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 100. Take 1 lb of flour: there are 16 oz in one pound. Half a pound is 8 ounces. A fourth of a pound is 4 ounces. Half of half a pound (1/2 of 8 ounces) = 4 ounces.
