No because 1/2% is half of one percent and 50% is half of the full 100%

p\%=(p)/(100)\\\\(1)/(2)\%=((1)/(2))/(100)=(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(100)=\boxed{(1)/(200)}\\\\50\%=(50)/(100)=(5)/(10)=\boxed{(1)/(2)}\\\\(1)/(200)\\eq(1)/(2)\\\\threfore\ the\ answer:\boxed{(1)/(2)\%\\eq50\%\to(1)/(2)\%\ is\ not\ equal\ 50\%}
