Two halves equal: One whole. Minus one quarter from the 'one whole', equals: Three fourths If you think of it in u.s. money, two halves .50 cent pieces, equals a total of one whole dollar. If you take a quarter, 1/4 away, you have 3 quarters left. Since 4 quarters make up a whole dollar, by taking away one of the quarters, you are left with 3 quarters. In fraction terms, your left with: 3/4 Hope that answers your question :o)
3/2 = 3 x 1/2 = three halves = one (whole) and a half = 1.5 = 3 x 0.5
2 halves make a whole
Quarter means one fourth, four of them equal one whole complete thing. 2 halves is one whole, and 4 quarters is one whole.
Two halves is the same as a whole, in other words two halves equals one. In symbols, 2/2=1. So the question is how many fourths equal 1? The answer is 4/4 =1.
There are two halves in 6. Each half represents one part of a whole, so when you divide 6 into halves, you get two equal parts of 3 each. This is because when you divide a number by 2, you are essentially splitting it into two equal parts.
twenty. Two halves make one whole. So in ten wholes there are 10 x 2 = 20 halves.

When you have 11 halves, you can think of it as having 11 parts, each of which is half of a whole. To find out how many wholes that is, you would divide 11 by 2, since there are 2 halves in a whole. Therefore, 11 halves is equal to 5 wholes with 1 half remaining.

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.
There are 5 halves in 10 whole ones.
