Question

Half of a half is _______ .

• A. half
• B. quarter
• C. three-quarters
• D. whole

Answer 1

The correct option is B quarter

If the whole is divided equally into two, we get half and if we divide half equally into two, we get half of a half i.e,
a quarter.
$\text{Half of a whole}=\frac{1}{2}\times 1=\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{Half of a half}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}$
