Question

You have 10 cookies and want to give 1/2 of them to a friend how many do you give to your friend

Answer 1

You give half of the cookies to your friend.

Explanation:

When finding halves of something, you always divide by 2:

10÷2=5

In this case, we have fractions so we are going to multiply fractions:

1 10

-- x

2

We can cross simplify and divide both numbers by 2:

10÷2=5

2÷2=1

The new fractions are:

1 5

-- x

1

5x1=5 and 1x1=1

You can change 5/1 into 5.

You give 5 cookies to your friend.

Hope this helps! :)
