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.

Not at all. One half is more than a third but less than three quarters.
Yes. One half is 3/6ths and one third is only 2/6ths. In another way, one half is 0.50 and one third is 0.33.....
Cut one pizza into three equal pieces, and cut a second pizza of the same size into halves. You can simulate this with a piece of paper and a pencil or pen. <><><><><> One third is NOT 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.
One third is closer to a whole than one quarter, but farther from a whole than one half.
