Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2

1) 110+30+a = 180
a = 180-140 = 40
Obtuse angled triangle
2) 50+50+C = 180
C=180-100 =80
Acute angled triangle
3) 45+45+b =180
b =180-90 = 90
Right angled triangle
4) 45+60+C = 180
C = 180-105 =75
Acute angled triangle
5) 94+47+b =180
b = 180-141=39
Obtuse angled triangle
6)81+53+a = 180
a =180-134 = 46
Acute angled triangle
7) 38+45+b =180
b = 180-83 =97
Obtuse angled triangle
8) 36+54+C =180
C =180-90 = 90
Right angled triangle.
