number of fourths needed to make 2 whole and one half = 10

there are two fourths in a half. think of a cake (yum) cut the cake into quarters . how many quarters will make half a cake and the answer is two (leave me some cake to eat)
Four of them.
yes, in the mathematical sense. In a practical sense, perhaps not. A half dozen eggs and a half gallon of milk does not make a whole of anything. Neither does two shank halves of ham make a whole ham nor two half-sisters make one whole sister.
halves are 2 pieces of a whole combine together to make a whole if you cut a half from a whole you get half. if that makes sense to you
We're hoping that nobody ever taught you that every fraction has a "whole number" connected to it somehow. It doesn't. Let's put it as simply as we can: If you have one half of a pizza, then how many whole pizzas is that ? And if you have one half of a dollar, then how many whole dollars is that ? One half is just what it says . . . one half. There is no whole number for it. You'd need to get another half from somewhere and put them together just to make the smallest whole number there is.
