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

Answer:
square root of 2 or if needed simplified, 1.414213 to the nearest millionth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the equation d= square root of (11-10)^2+(4-5)^2 where that is simplified to square root of (1)^2+(-1)^2 to square root of 1+1 to your final answer, square root of 2. Also simplified to 1.414213.
The answer is, y = -1/3 - 3
