• Hong needs to memorize words on a vocabulary list for Russian class. He has 14 words to memorize, and he is one-half done. How many words has hong memorized so far?

`\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer} \downarrow}`

• Number of words Hong needs to memorize =
  `\sf \: 14 \: words`
• Words he has finished =
  `\sf \: (1)/(2) \: of \: the \: words \: given \\`
• Words left for Hong to memorize = ?

`\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Steps} \downarrow}`

`\large \sf \: 14 * (1)/(2) \\\large \sf = \bcancel14 * (1)/( \bcancel2) \\ \large \sf = 7 * 1 \\ = \large \boxed{ \bf7 \: words}`

=> Hong has 7 more words to complete if he has completed about one-half of the total number of words given.

He has done one half = ½

Finding ½ of 14

½ × 14
