It will take 36 to make 1/2 I’m in third grade and I notice it’s really easy if you think about it
Oh, that's a happy little question! You see, two sixths make one third, and three sixths make one half. So, it takes three lovely little sixths to make one beautiful half. Just remember, there are many ways to break down fractions and create something truly special on your canvas of math.

Four sixths is bigger than one half. Three sixths make one half.

[three sixths] are the same amount as [one half]
One sixth and one half sixth. You can't make a quarter out of a whole number of sixths.x . 1/6 = 1/44x = 6x = 6/4 = 3/2 = one and a half.So one and a half sixths make one quarter.So if you had a cake that was divided in to sixths already, and you had to share it out evenly between four people, each would get one and a half pieces.

Four sixths. ^^ You see, 6 is the common denominator, so, you work with one half. Now, you have to make 6 the denominator, right? So, you multiply 2 by 3 and 1 also by three, and then you have to add three sixths and one sixths and you get four sixths.
[three sixths] are the same amount as [one half]
One half is three sixths and one-third is two sixths. 3+2=5
three sixths, or one half
One sixth and one half sixth. You can't make a quarter out of a whole number of sixths.x . 1/6 = 1/44x = 6x = 6/4 = 3/2 = one and a half.So one and a half sixths make one quarter.So if you had a cake that was divided in to sixths already, and you had to share it out evenly between four people, each would get one and a half pieces.
There are nine sixths because one whole equals six sixths and one half equals three sixths. So, six sixths plus three sixths equals nine sixths! Hope I helped!
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Five sixths is larger than one half. Think of it this way: if you had a pie cut into six slices and you ate five of them, you've had more than if you only had half of the pie. Math doesn't lie, darling.
Five sixths multiplied by two and one half is about 2.083.
Yes. One sixth is one half of one third to be exact. Two-sixths are equal to one-third, three-sixths is a half, four-sixths is two-thirds, five-sixths is exactly what it is, and six-sixths is a whole.
