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
Three
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.

One-half is equivalent to three-sixths. This is because when you divide one-half into sixths, you multiply the denominator by three, resulting in three parts of six. Thus, there are three sixths in one-half.

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.
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!
One half can be expressed as 3/6 when converted to sixths. Therefore, when you add two sixths to one half, you have 3/6 + 2/6, which equals 5/6. Thus, one half added to two sixths equals five sixths.
Five sixths multiplied by two and one half is about 2.083.
