5 + x/3 = x/2 --> 5 = x/2 - x/3. Multiply both sides by 6: 30 = 3x - 2x = x
x is 30. Check: 30/3 = 10, add 5 is 15, which is half of 30.
One-third of ANY number is less than half of that number - no matter what number you pick.

A third of a half million is calculated by first determining what half a million is, which is 500,000. Taking a third of that amount involves dividing 500,000 by 3, resulting in approximately 166,666.67. Therefore, a third of a half million is roughly 166,667 when rounded to the nearest whole number.

Well, honey, when you're dealing with fractions, one third doesn't round to 0 or one half. One third is closer to zero than it is to one half, but it's still one third. So, no need to round it off, just keep it as one third and call it a day.

half the result
The number six
The wording is ambiguous. If the questions means, "From what number can you subtract one-half to get a result of zero?" then the answer is one-half. (1/2) - (1/2) = 0 If the question means, "From what number can you subtract half of the number to get a result of zero?" then the answer is zero. 0 - (1/2)0 = 0

Half of a number is the result of dividing the number by 2. In this case, half of 31 is 31 divided by 2, which equals 15.5.
...but if you multiply a whole number by a half the result decreases. Half of anything is less than that thing!
One third of a pound and a half is half a pound.

80 Let the number be x. The original number gets quartered first. x/4 The new number gets added by half. 1.5x/4 1.5x/4=60 1.5x=60*4=240 x=240/1.5 x=160
