Question: 1 / 400

What fraction represents one half?

1/2

One half is represented by the fraction 1/2 because it signifies that a whole is divided into two equal parts, and you take one of those parts. The numerator (1) indicates that we are considering only one of the two equal sections formed by dividing the whole.

For instance, if you imagine a pizza cut into two equal slices, taking one slice would leave you with half of the pizza. This visual representation effectively communicates the concept of 'one half.' The other fractions do not represent half of a whole; for example, 1/4 indicates one part of four total parts, 1/3 indicates one part of three total parts, and 1/5 indicates one part of five total parts, making each of them a smaller portion than half of a whole.
