• 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 = $\sf \: \frac{1}{2} \: of \: the \: words \: given$
• Words left for Hong to memorize = ?

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

$\large \sf \: 14 \times \frac{1}{2} \\\large \sf = \bcancel14 \times \frac{1}{ \bcancel2} \\ \large \sf = 7 \times 1 \\ = \large \boxed{ \bf7 \: words}$

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