There are infinitely many fractions equal to one half.
Fractions that are equivalent to one-half can be created by multiplying both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction 1/2 by the same non-zero number. This process generates equivalent fractions that represent the same value as one-half.
For example:
- 1/2 = (1 2) / (2 2) = 2/4
- 1/2 = (1 3) / (2 3) = 3/6
- 1/2 = (1 4) / (2 4) = 4/8
- 1/2 = (1 5) / (2 5) = 5/10
And so on. Since there are infinitely many numbers you can multiply by, there are infinitely many fractions equal to one half.
