Answer: A, B, F

Explanation:

For convenience sake, let's establish early on that 1/2 is equal to 0.5 or 50% in their decimal and percentage forms respectively.

- A as a decimal is 0.25, which is not only smaller than 1/2, but it is exactly half of the value, so A works.

- B is also smaller than the decimal of 0.5, therefore it counts.

- 3/5 as a decimal is 0.5, which is greater, so doesn't count.

- 67% is bigger than 50%, so doesn't count.

- 0.74 is bigger than 0.5, so doesn't count.

- 40% is smaller than 50%, so it counts.
