A third of six is two; three is half of six. To make three equal a third of six; add 2+1 together to equal 3. One(1)is half of two(2).
Half of twenty is ten. Add half of ten, which is five, to that and the answer is 15.
Just as the adjustment for the "unreal" fraction equivalents was made for the first part of this math riddle, it must also be applied to the second part to get the correct answer.
Try this:
If a third of six is three, what must a fourth of twenty be?
It can be expressed three ways: "twenty-three and a half" (5/10 = 1/2) "twenty-three and five tenths" "twenty-three point five"
six fourteenths nine twenty oneths twelve twenty eighths
No, one third is less that one half. One third means that it has been divided in three parts. One half, means that it has been divided in two parts.
To write 22,500,000 in words, you would say "twenty-two million five hundred thousand." This follows the standard naming convention for large numbers, where each group of three digits is named in terms of the power of ten it represents.
One-half of one-third is one-sixth. Using fraction manipulatives would be one way to visually verify that a one-sixth piece would cover half of a one-third piece.

Type your answer here... 10
twenty three and a half 23 and 1/2
half of 20 is 10 and a third of 30 is 10
Twenty three and a half or twenty three point five = 23.5
Twenty-three and five tenths Twenty-three and a half
11.5
Twenty three and one half, or twenty three and five tenths.
It can be expressed three ways: "twenty-three and a half" (5/10 = 1/2) "twenty-three and five tenths" "twenty-three point five"
One-third of seven and a half (7.5) is 2.5. You can think of it as three-quarters divided by three.
six fourteenths nine twenty oneths twelve twenty eighths
three quarter of thirty = twenty two and a half (22.5)
