What is the half of 1/4?
I think it’s too late to ask this question, you should have asked it to Arjyabhatta now this question will bring a revolutionary change in the field of mathematics. You are really a genius, your name will be written in golden letters in books. Can I meet you once, sir? Please?

P.S - Sorry for the grammatical mistakes (if any).
Half of 1 = 1/2 which is also 0.5
Half of 1/2 = 1/(2x2) which is also 1/4 or 0.25
Half of 1/4 = 1/(2x2x2) which is also 1/8 or 0.125
1/8
…..need explanation????
Follow me….
Method 1“To half any number divide it by 2”
Following this here….
1/4 ÷ 2 =1/8 {hope you know how to divide}
Method 2 “To half a number multiply it with 1/2”
Following this here…..
1/4×1/2 = 1/8 {Hope you know how to multiply}

Need more explanation??
okay,,method 1
1/4 ÷ 2 will be solved like this…
1/4 ÷ 2/1
or,1/4*1/2 {While dividing one fraction by other fraction,we will make reciprocal of divisor}
or,Ans=1/8
.
. now about method 2
1/4* 1/2
Ans = 1/8
Proof:-
To restore a number which is previously been halved….multiply it with 2
Following this here…
Our answer is 1/8
1/8*2 (1/8 multiplied by 2)
or,2/8
or,original no 1/4
Hence, proved…
Hope you understood….
Thanks for reading….
