Half of any amount is still a 'half' In mathematics the word 'of' is the equivalent of the symbol X or 'times' so it follows that a half of a half is 1/2 X 1/2 so the answer is 1/4 or one quarter.
One-half times three gives three halves (3/2), which is the same as one and one-half.
The ratio is 2/3: One foot can be expressed as 2 half-feet and one and a half feet can be expressed at 3 half-feet.
3/2 x 1/2 = 3/4One and a half = 11/2 = 3/2Half of that = 1/2 * 3/2 = 3/4
3 and one half is one fourth (1/4) bigger than 3 and one fourths.
one and a half = 3/2 three quarters = 3/4 3/2 x 3/4 = 9/8 = one and one eighth
