Here are some of the ways you could be asked to find half of 50:
- \[ {1 \over 2} \; of \; 50 \]
- \[ {1 \over 2} \times 50 \]
- \[ 50 \times {1 \over 2} \]
- \[ 50 \div 2 \]
Here are some of the ways you could be asked to find a quarter of 28:
- \[ {1 \over 4} \; of \; 28 \]
- \[ {1 \over 4} \times 28 \]
- \[ 28 \times {1 \over 4} \]
- \[ 28 \div 4 \]
Examples of Halving and Quartering Numbers
Examples of Halving Numbers
Example 1) Find half of 46
To find half of 46, we need to divide 46 by 2.
46 ÷ 2 = 23
We can also find half of 46 by finding half of 40 and half of 6 and then adding them together.
So half of 46 = half of 40 + half of 6 = 20 + 3 = 23
\[ {1 \over 2} \; of \; 46 = 23 \]
Example 2) Find half of 74
To find half of 74, we need to divide 74 by 2.
74 ÷ 2 = 37
We can also find half of 74 by finding half of 70 and half of 4 and then adding them together.
So half of 74 = half of 70 + half of 4 = 35 + 2 = 37
\[ {1 \over 2} \; of \; 74 = 37 \]
Example 3) Find a quarter of 24
To find a quarter of 24, we need to divide 24 by 4, or halve it twice.
24 ÷ 4 = 6
We can also find half of 24 by finding half of 24 and then halving this result.
So half of 24 = 12 and half of 12 = 6.
\[ {1 \over 4} \; of \; 24 = 6 \]
Example 4) Find a quarter of 92
To find a quarter of 92, we need to divide 92 by 4, or halve it twice.
92 ÷ 4 = 23
We can also find half of 92 by finding half of 92 and then halving this result.
So half of 92 = 46 and half of 46 = 23.
\[ {1 \over 4} \; of \; 92 = 23 \]
