By 5 and a half I believe you are referring to 5.5.
Therefore we can count a tenth as 0.1
so 5.5/0.1=55.
So there are 55 tenths in 5 and a half
5 tenths make a half.
There are ten tenths in one whole. Therefore, 10 + 5 = 15 tenths.
There are five tenths in a half. 5/10 = 1/2

Fifteen 1 and a half = 3/2 3/2 x 5/5 = 15/10

Ten tenths equal 1. So to find half of that, devide both sides by 2; you end up with 5 tenths equal one half.
1/2 = 5/10
5 tenths or 5/10 is the same as 1/2 or a half.
5 tenths is the same an one-half (1/2). :)
