One half.
A fraction between one half (1/2) and one fourth (1/4) is three eights (3/8).
Four and one-half cannot be represented by a whole number. It can be represented by 4.5 or the improper fraction 9/2
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.
A mixed number fraction is when you have both a whole number and a fraction stated together. For example, "three and a half" or "five and one quarter".

Six and a half is an improper fraction. It is not a whole number and cannot be made into one.
The term fraction means a part of the whole. So one half (1/2) is a fraction. The decimal 0.5 means a half and is also a fraction.
less, if it is a fraction of a half, it cannt be a whole
A fraction between one half (1/2) and one fourth (1/4) is three eights (3/8).

A proper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator. 1/2 is a proper fraction. 3/2 is an improper fraction. Now to understand why the improper fraction is larger than the proper fraction, lets split them up. The proper fraction is one half of a whole, whereas the improper fraction is one whole and one half. Basically the proper is one half, and the improper is three halves. In theory, a proper fraction is always less than the whole number under consideration. On the other hand, an improper fraction is either equal to or larger than the whole number under consideration.
3/8 is exactly halfway between one half and one fourth
