Less than one half of a number is a quarter of a number.
No because 1/5 is less than 1/2
Let's assume the number is x. Half of the number is (1/2)x and a fifth of two less than the number is (1/5)(x-2). So, the equation can be written as (1/2)x + (1/5)(x-2) = x - 4. Solving this equation, we find that the number x is 20.
One-third of ANY number is less than half of that number - no matter what number you pick.
0.5 is one half."0.5 to the power of two" is (one half of one half).Surely you can see that (one half of one half) is less than (one half).[ (Any number less than 1) to the power of two ] is less than the original number.
