Answer:

Explanation:

1/2 of 50 grams is the same thing as 50 divided by 2 which is 25

Now you take 1/2 of 25 grams. That's 25 divided by 2. Use your calculator if you're not sure 25 divided by 2 = 12 and 1/2 or 12.5

I think we're down to 1/2 of 12.5

1/2 of 12.5 is 6 and then 0.5/2 which is 0.25

So 1/2 of 12.5 is 6.25

If I left one out, leave a comment.

Just in case 1/2 of 6.25 = 6/2 = 3

1/2 of 0.25 = 0.25/2 = 0.125

so the answer here is 3.125

If I've misunderstood the question, leave a note for that too.
