Half of one third in fraction

Half means ½, and when the object is divided into two parts, it is called the half of the whole. For example, if you cut an apple into two equal parts, each part is called one half of the apple, and we write it as ½.

When you divide anything into three equal parts, then each part of that specific thing is called one-third of the whole. It is denoted by the symbol 1/3. For example, if you cut a cake into three equal portions, then each part is called one-third of the cake. 1/3 tells 1 part out of three equal portions. (See What is half of 1/4cup?)
To get half of anything, you divide it by 2. Hence, when you want to get half of 1/3, you would have to divide it by 2. Thus, for solving this as a math equation, you would have to write it-
1/3 / 2
For dividing the fraction by a whole number, you would have to keep the numerator and multiply the denominator with the whole number-
1 /3*2 = 1/6
Hence, the answer is 1/6. As two halves together make a whole, 1/6 plus 1/6 equals 1/3.
As mention above, half of 1/3 is 1/6. Thus, when you divide 6 by 1, the decimal answer would come, which is 0.166666666666667.

$Half of one third in fraction$

Explanation:

Half of #1/3# of a cup can also be said as #1/3# divided by #2#

It is easier to divide by #2# if we have an even number.

Write #1/3# as an equivalent fraction with an even numerator:

#1/3 = 2/6 = 4/12 = 6/18...# and so on.

These fractions can now be easily divided by #2#

Half of #2/6# is equal to #1/6#

Half of #4/12# is equal to #2/12 =1/6#

Half of #6/18# is equal to #3/18 = 1/6#

Or we could do it by a maths technique:

#1/3 div2/1#
#=1/3 xx 1/2#
#=1/6#

Hi! The way to solve this problem is to convert it from a mixed number to an "improper fraction." There are three thirds in one, so if you have 1 1/3, then the improper fraction is 4/3. Half of four is two, so the answer is 2/3.
