One half (1/2) means one of two. One third (1/3) means one of 3. If you have one dollar and are missing one, it's better than having one dollar and missing two.

What is one third multiplied by a number equal to one more than one half?

To solve this equation, we first need to convert the fractions to decimals for easier calculation. One third is equal to approximately 0.333, and one half is equal to 0.5. Therefore, one more than one half is 0.5 + 1 = 1.5. Multiplying one third (0.333) by 1.5 gives us approximately 0.5 as the result.
