Answer:

5/12

Explanation:

In order to divide a fraction in half, you simply divide the the numerator by 2 and the denominator by 1. In this case 5/6 ÷ 2/1 = 2.5/6. Since it may be odd to have a decimal in the numerator, you can multiply the fraction by 2/2 (which Is equal to 1). This way the value stays the same (as you are multiplying by 1) but the numbers become even, and less weird. 2.5/6 * 2/2 = 5/12.
