Five wholes and one half. Divide the 11 by 2: 11 ÷ 2 = 5.5
This is a division problem; just divide by four. Sometimes it is easier to divide something in half, and then divide it in half again. One quarter of 40 is 10.
No, one half (1/2) of 462 is 231. To find what one half of a number is, divide it by two.
To get one-half of any number, just divide it by 2.
Half of five cups is 2 and one-half cups.

Divide by two. Two goes into five 2 and a half times, so you need two and a half cups of flour. Another way to think of it is instead of using a one cup measure five times, use a half cup measure five times.
4 is not one half of five. 2.5 is one half of five.
Five wholes and one half. Divide the 11 by 2: 11 ÷ 2 = 5.5
It is the same. If you divide both numerator and denominator in 5/10 with 5, you get 1/2.
Five and a half or 5.5
If you are asking what half of five is, the "technical" way is "five times one half," which sounds weird, but one must use the opposite mathemathical function of a mathematical function to get the right answer. half of five is 2 1/2. punch this into your calculator to get half of five: 5 x 0.5 = this is HALF OF FIVE. ................ However, when you repeat the same mathemetical function (you cannot divide the fraction in this case because a fraction is a form of division), it will multply your answer by the denominator. 5 / 0.5 = 10 these are not one in the same. this may be correct in a certain situation, but this answer is NOT half of five.
A square has only to diagonals and either one will divide it in half.
No. One half is equal to five tenths.
One and five eighths is bigger than one and a half.
