What is half of one and one half pounds?

Answer 1

A third of a pound and a half is the same as one and a half divided by three. This is (1 1/2)/3 = (3/2)/3 = 1.5/3 = 0.5 lb Therefore, it is a half pound.

Answer 2

Half of one and one half pounds is 0.75 pounds. To calculate this, you first convert one and one half pounds to a decimal, which is 1.5 pounds. Then, you divide 1.5 by 2 to find half of that amount, which equals 0.75 pounds.
