What is the effect on current if both the voltage and the resistance are halved?

The current through a resistor is

(voltage across the resistor) / (resistance of the resistor) .

If the numerator and the denominator of that fraction are both
multiplied or divided by the same number, then the value of the
fraction doesn't change.
