No because 3/5 = 0.6 and 1/2 = 0.5
One half minus one fifth is 3 tenths
One half of one fifth is one tenth. You just 'double' the denominator if you want to get half of the fraction.
a 6th a 7th... it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on!

One fifth
Not quite. A pint is a half of a quart, or QUARTer-gallon. A "fifth" is a fifth of a gallon, so a pint is an eighth of a gallon, while a half of a fifth would be one-tenth.
The term "a fifth" refers to one fifth of a gallon. One fifth of a gallon = 750ml. Therefore, a fifth of Hennessy = One 750ml bottle of Hennessy. :-)

1 and a half is smaller then 5 and a half
1/10 is smaller.

The answer depends on two fifth of WHAT!
An octave is not a fifth. A fifth is any interval of exactly 7 half-steps. An octave is any interval of exactly 12 half-steps.
15 and one half divided by 2 and one fifth = 7.5
A "fifth" of liquor was 1/5 of a U.S. gallon (128 ounces) or 4/5 of a U.S. quart (32 ounces). So 128/5=25.6 ounces or (4/5)*32=25.6 ounces. The current bottles are 750 ml or 25.36 ounces.
