Answer 2

ANSWER

$\frac{1}{6}$

EXPLANATION

The given fraction is

$\frac{1}{3}$

We want to find half of this fraction.

We can write this expression mathematically as:

$\frac{1}{2} \: of \: \: \frac{1}{3}$

The 'of' in this expression means multiplication.

This implies that

$\implies \: \frac{1}{2} \: of \: \: \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \: \times \: \: \frac{1}{3}$

$\implies \: \frac{1}{2 } \: of \: \: \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 1}{2 \times 3}$

We multiply out to get

$\implies \: \frac{1 }{2} \: of \: \: \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}$
