Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

So what do we mean by half? Half means there are two of the thing, and so all you need to do is divide it by two. Half of 4/4 is just another way of saying 4/4 divided by 2:

: 4/4 ÷ 2

Now we know that "half" means to divide by 2, how do we half 4/4? Remember that a fraction a part of the whole, so the higher the denominator is, the smaller the piece. The answer is that the numerator stays the same and we multiply the denominator by 2:

: 4/4 x 2 = 4/8

Here's a little bonus calculation for you to easily work out the decimal format of half 4/4. All you need to do is divide the numerator by the denominator and you can convert any fraction to decimal:

: 4/8 = 0.5
