1 whole
One half is 1 of 2 parts of ANYTHING. So there are 2 halves in everything, always 2 because that is what half means. Half of anything is always equal to the other half, it doesn't matter if it is the whole universe, or an orange, or an atom. One half plus the other half equals one whole.
One half.

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.
