To get one-half of any number, just divide it by 2.
No. Taking one half of a number is the same as dividing it by 2. If you divide a number by 1/2 that's the same as multiplying it by 2.
No, one half (1/2) of 462 is 231. To find what one half of a number is, divide it by two.
One half multiplied by one is equal to one half. This is because when you multiply a fraction by a whole number, you simply multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 1/2 multiplied by 1 equals 1/2.
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.
